Hi
We have a box running Debian 2.1 still in production, and for complicated
reasons we can't replace it immediately. I'm trying to compile OpenSSH for it,
and to do that I need to compile OpenSSL. The issue I'm seeing is very similar
to that reported by Alain Guibert here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.openssl.devel/10800 but I
cannot find whether his issue was ever resolved.
Essentially, the machine appears to be a i386 (although the Bogomips value
seems suspiciously high):
$ more /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
cpu : ?86
model : 386 SX/DX
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
stepping : 9
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid : yes
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov
16 17 19 21 22 mmx 24 25 26 27 28 29 31
bogomips : 3185.05
Linux kernel is 2.0.36:
$ uname -a
Linux devsys.dunlops.com 2.0.36 #1 Thu Jun 21 16:51:34 GMT 2001 i?86 unknown
and it appears to know about ELF:
$ file /lib/ld.so.1.9.10
/lib/ld.so.1.9.10: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1,
statically linked, stripped
Output from make (after doing config) is as follows:
$ make
making all in crypto...

This looks to me as though the GCC backend is trying to use the SSE2
instructions which address the XMM registers, which if I remember my ancient
history weren't present on the i386.
GCC version is 2.7.2.3 and was installed from a standard Debian package, but
egcc 2.91.60 seems also to be available:
$ dpkg -l | grep gcc
ii egcc 2.91.60-5 The GNU (egcs) C compiler.
ii gcc 2.7.2.3-7 The GNU C compiler.
Let's be clear: I don't actually /want/ to compile this for the sake of
compiling this, I just want a version of openssh that works; and as this is
essentially industrial archaeology it isn't worth the developers wasting time
making things work on what is essentially obsolete kit. So if anyone has a
working binary either just of the openssl libraries or of all the stuff needed
to support openssh, on an i386 running Linux 2.0.x, I'd be extremely grateful.
But if not, I'd like to know how to get openssl to compile, if possible.
Anyone?
Cheers
Simon
