If this is a warning then ignore it. The source for the validated tarball is so old (and cannot be changed without revalidation) that there are several warnings of this type. None are part of the validated module itself and when you link against OpenSSL 0.9.8k or later you wont get any problems. If this is actually a hard error then you may have to use an earlier version of gcc to generate the validated module: what version of gcc is that? Are you doing a native build? Cross compiling is not currently permitted. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson. OpenSSL project core developer.
