[ above information starkly edited by me to emphasize big-endian on x86] OpenSSL is just one of many open-source packages whose authors have assumed that all IA32 implementations are little endian. I discovered the same problem several years ago when we ported OpenSSL to the Stratus VOS operating system, which is also big-endian on IA32. This issue is so pervasive that when a numeric package fails on my system, I immediately start looking for C macros of the form "__i386". The good news is that the OpenSSL team has been kind enough to accept patches from me that correct this situation, and I think you will find that later versions of OpenSSL will work just fine. I have had no trouble with the current versions of OpenSSL (i.e., 1.0.0 or 1.0.1). See the patches that I submitted under RT #1130 to correct this issue, and which were applied by Richard Levitte on June 23, 2005 or so (the RT comment doesn't say to which branch it was applied, however).
