If I would offer my best guess, I would say that your openssl libs were compiled for a CISC architecture (such as Intel), the key words "586" and "little endian" giving clue. I can't imagine how if you compiled the openssl libs yourself, but it could happen if you installed an RPM built for CISC. Another possibility is that the configure script couldn't correctly guess your architecture (isn't hardhat for embedded systems?), and made a bad guess, though I am surprised the compile would have succeeded. I would recommend to recompile openssl with "linux-ppc" as the target, and see if you get better results.

Dear OpenSSL team, I am a user of "OpenSSH" and when I try to self-compile openssh for my PowerPC, it needs also the OpenSSL libraries. So, due to the above reasons, I had to also get OpenSSL installed on my powerPC inorder to get a running version of openSSL. But during the installation (at "make") of openSSL, I have a problem. I have just pasted down the output which appeared after the make process on my PowerPC. Please do suggest me with some solutions. PS: I had mounted the sources required for the OpenSSL for my PowerPC from a PC, where already a pre-complied version of openSSH and OpenSSL were existing. Your's sincerely, Suja.
