Well, it was a configuration issue. Since we are running Solaris 5.9 and 5.8 on Ultra 60 boxes, and 5.9 works, I used the options from solaris64-sparcv9-gcc for solaris64-sparcv8-gcc. Except for the asm reference (which we don't use) they are the same. Why the old values worked with 0.9.7d, is a mystery.
I did learn one lesson from this. Be sure to test out a clean openssl on your platform before you put any openssl updates into your project. Do this for each platform you plan to use. Configure values that worked before don't necessarily work with the later upgrades.
