Re: HEADS UP: OpenSSL problems after GCC 4.2 upgrade

Hi,

there were several reports of OpenSSL being broken when compiled with

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

Thanks. I can confirm that the above patch fixes the openssl core
dumps (illegal instruction) I was seeing after the upgrade to gcc-4.2.
