Dear OpenSSL team,
I am a user of "OpenSSH" and when I try to self-compile openssh for my
PowerPC, it needs also the OpenSSL libraries. So, due to the above
reasons, I had to also get OpenSSL installed on my powerPC inorder to
get a running version of openSSL.
But during the installation (at "make") of openSSL, I have a problem.
I have just pasted down the output which appeared after the make process
on my PowerPC. Please do suggest me with some solutions.
PS: I had mounted the sources required for the OpenSSL for my PowerPC
from a PC, where already a pre-complied version of openSSH and OpenSSL
were existing.
Your's sincerely,
Suja.

compiled for a CISC architecture (such as Intel), the key words "586" and
"little endian" giving clue. I can't imagine how if you compiled the openssl
libs yourself, but it could happen if you installed an RPM built for CISC.
Another possibility is that the configure script couldn't correctly guess
your architecture (isn't hardhat for embedded systems?), and made a bad
guess, though I am surprised the compile would have succeeded. I would
recommend to recompile openssl with "linux-ppc" as the target, and see if
you get better results.
