Hi all,
there were several reports of OpenSSL being broken when
compiled with GCC 4.2. It turns out OpenSSL uses function
casting feature that was aggressively de-supported by GCC 4.2
and GCC goes as far as inserting invalid instructions ON
PURPOSE to discourage the practice.
Consequently, OpenSSL need the patch similar to attached one to
work. Just in case mailing list will eat the attachment, the
patch can be found at
http://people.freebsd.org/~kan/openssl-gcc42.diff
Unfortunately, our OpenSSL maintainer(s) are currently en-route
from BSDCan and cannot attend to the matters. Once we figure
the best way to fix the code and to integrate the fix into
OpenSSL, we will check the fix info CVS. People are advised to
patch their sources locally until then.
Thanks! :-)
