I noticed a problem when building openssl-1.0.0 on my sparc64 FreeBSD
9-CURRENT system.
While building in crypto/des/, it failed with:
m4 -B 8192 asm/des_enc.m4 > des_enc-sparc.S
m4: illegal option -- B
usage: m4 [-d flags] [-t name] [-gs] [-D name[=value]]...
[-U name]... [-I dirname]... file...
*** Error code 1
I looked in openssl-1.0.0/crypto/des/Makefile, to see:
des_enc-sparc.S: asm/des_enc.m4
m4 -B 8192 asm/des_enc.m4 > des_enc-sparc.S
It appears that the BSD-sparc64 OS type assumes the Solaris
/usr/ccs/bin/m4 is installed, which has the -B option to m4. Neither
the BSD nor the GNU m4 have that option.
