Greetings,

I'm trying to build openssl-0.9.8a with shared libs on RedHat AS2.1. My config line:
./config --prefix=/home/jdwyatt/local/ssl shared

Compile with 'make' completes successfully.

In trying to compile openssl-0.9.8a, I get the following on 'make test':
...
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
test BN_sqr
make[1]: *** [test_bn] Error 139
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jdwyatt/adm/openssl-0.9.8a/test'
make: *** [tests] Error 2

This is on RedHat Advanced Server 2.1, on 32 bit Intel. I've read the FAQ, which seems to point to toolchain issues on 64bit platforms; that doesn't seem to be the case, here. This seems also to crop up only when trying to build the shared version. Building without shared support completes successfully, and the tests pass successfully.

I understand that 'shared' is labeled 'experimental' - but it seems to be the only valid approach for building mod_ssl with apache 2.0.55.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Josh

An update here.  I did further research and it looks like the exact problem 
reported in bug 1264.
Here's a link to a January 4 message to this list:
http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.openssl.dev/browse_thread/thread/2ccd0773eb8cd93a/30a3e0d82af04ece?q=1264&rnum=1

There has been no response in 3 weeks...??!?  Is there any way to access the 
bug ticket system to check the status of this bug?

Thanks,
Josh
