Not that I got a response, but if anyone was paying attention (and for
anyone who tries to google the problem as I did), I solved the problem by
using gcc 3.3 to compile openssl instead of gcc 4.1. Dunno why it worked,
but there you go.

As a follow up to this (as yet) unanswered query: Is openssl supported on
old (sparc v8) machines? Running Linux instead of Solaris?
Summary of my problem: after an apparantly successful './config' and 'make',
I run 'make test' which fails; applications throw weird errors if I 'make
install' anyway, and I can't guess what the problem is.
Thanks again,

Hi,
I upgraded openssl on an old Sparc 20 running Debian Linux to 0.9.8
recently (first using the Debian package, which runs 0.9.8c), and things
started to become troublesome--ssh began to fail, citing an error like
this:
RSA_public_decrypt failed: error:0407006A:rsa
routines:RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1:block type is not 01
...I then noticed other similar errors running perl scripts which use
Crypt::SSLeay, and even with wget sent to https sites. I figured something
might be up with the installation, so I used the Debian-standard
compilation method, and ended up with the following error output:
../util/shlib_wrap.sh ./randtest test 1 done test 2 done test 3 done test 4
done starting big number library test, could take a while... test BN_add
test BN_sub test BN_lshift1 test BN_lshift (fixed) test BN_lshift test
BN_rshift1 test BN_rshift Right shift test failed! make[2]: *** [test_bn]
Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory
`/root/openssl-0.9.8c/openssl-0.9.8c/test' make[1]: *** [tests] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/openssl-0.9.8c/openssl-0.9.8c' make: ***
[build] Error 2 Build command 'cd openssl-0.9.8c && dpkg-buildpackage -b
-uc' failed. E: Child process failed donut:~/openssl-0.9.8c#
...I didn't know what to make of this, so I went back and tried the tweaks
suggested in the INSTALL file. For instance, specifying no-asm on the
command line, and then removing compiler optimizations...still no dice.
make clean ; make ; make test produces the same error.
So then I downloaded the latest version of the source, 0.9.8d from
openssl.org, and re-attempted the same compile and install (with and
without the no-asm and compiler optimization flags)...same problem, same
error at the same time.
Any suggestion of where to look or what to do next?
