I am trying to set up openssl 0.9.6b on an ancient sun3 with SunOS
4.1.1_U1, intending to set up openssh once openssl is working.
The openssl build appears to be OK (after hacking the config
to not assume that "sunos" necessarily implies "sparc" :)
I am getting two complaints from "make test", and even after
reading the FAQ and searching the list archives I am not clear
on how to proceed. Logfile excerpts follow the ### lines;
related questions follow the === lines.

running bc
bc does not work properly ('SunOStest' failed). Looking for another bc ...
/bin/bc does not work properly ('SunOStest' failed). Looking for another bc ...
/usr/bin/bc does not work properly ('SunOStest' failed). Looking for another bc ...
No working bc found. Consider installing GNU bc.
========================================================================
OK, I got GNU bc. Do I need to rerun the entire "make test" (which takes
over 2 hours), or is it possible to run just the part that uses bc?

convert the certificate request into a self signed certificate using 'x509'
unable to load 'random state'
This means that the random number generator has not been seeded
with much random data.
Consider setting the RANDFILE environment variable to point at a file that
'random' data can be kept in (the file will be overwritten).
========================================================================
Does the lack of random data invalidate the test results, or is it just
something that should be fixed before "serious" use? IOW, do I need to
rerun "make test" after fixing this?
========================================================================
I got the impression from the FAQ that it would use $HOME/.rnd if
RANDFILE was not set, and that it would create the file if it did
not already exist, but it does not seem to have created such a file.
Do I need to do something else?
========================================================================
The FAQ suggests using EGD, but also says that it won't really be
supported until 0.9.7. Meanwhile, EGD does not want to install on
this system -- it complains that
'VERSION_FROM' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
and
ld: egd.o: No such file or directory
*** Error code 4
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `blib/auto/egd/egd.so'
What should I do?
