I tried to recompile OpenSSL for my Penitum 4 - apparently it wasn't

later OpenSSL was compiling with -march=pentium4, but that was not the
end of it. after the RPM package was built, I of course tried to install
it, only to get this :
package openssl-0.9.6g-1mdk is for a different architecture
Have a look at /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc
There is a large "compatibility" section. IIRC the the optimization flags
for each arch are defined there.
There are a number of x86 sub-archtectures there.
I know - it didn't really have a pentiuim4 architecture, I had to create
it by myself. but OpenSSL still sets -m486 : the configure script does not
detect the processor version, and the only way to tell it what to use is
to choose between forcing a 386 arch and going with the default (486).
