Greetings - We have been building OpenSSL on PPC64 and S390X platforms with Linux and have found some type punning errors in both the 0.9.7 tree and the 0.9.8 tree. The self-test test_x509 fails due to this error. This error only seems to appear on big endien 64 bit machines, whether compiling for 32 or 64 bit targets.
Versions affected: 0.9.7[fghijkl], and 0.9.8[abcd]. We have tested the attached patches on Solaris SPARC and AMD64 (64 bit), Linux (RHEL and SuSE) on ia32, ppc (both 32 bit), ppc64, s390x (both 64 bit). Since I am in the US, I have already submitted these patches to the US Bureau of Industry and Security and the Encryption Request Coordinator.
