Re: Re: Compiling Failed

FYI, I compiled this version successfully by setting -no-asm flag.

A new entry is being added to FAQ list which reads as following:

* Why does OpenBSD-i386 build fail on des-586.s with "Unimplemented
segment type"?

As of 0.9.7 assembler routines were overhauled for position independency
of the machine code, which is essential for shared library support. Now
for some reason OpenBSD is equipped with out-of-date GNU assembler which
finds the new code offending. To work the problem around configure with
no-asm (and sacrifice a great deal of performance) or upgrade /usr/bin/as.
For your convenience a pre-compiled replacement binary is provided as
http://www.openssl.org/~appro/i386-openbsd3-as, which is compiled from
binutils-2.8 released in 1997.

Cheers. A.
