Hi -

I am wondering if it is possible to build openSSL (or actually a very small 
portion of it) for use in an embedded ROM on an ARM11-based system.  For my 
purpose I only need to be able to perform RSA public key decryption within the 
ROM.  Being a ROM, I have no OS support whatsoever.

I have compiled openssl using my cross compiler.  The steps I used to 
accomplish that:

a) ./Configure linux-elf --prefix=/db/nsel/db/avalanche/progs/mv2/v6_le_uclibc 
--openssldir=/db/nsel/db/aval
anche/progs/mv2/v6_le_uclibc/openssl no-asm no-shared

b) make CC=arm_v6_le_uclibc-gcc "AR=arm_v6_le_uclibc-ar r" 
RANLIB=arm_v6_le_uclibc-ranlib

Just for testing purposes, I put a dummy call to RSA_public_decrypt() in my ROM 
code, and linked with libcrypto.a.  What results is a number of undefined 
symbols relating to OS-type calls (getpid, socket, etc...):

Linking ...

Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol __ctype_b (referred from obj_dat.o).
Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol fopen64 (referred from bss_file.o).

Has anyone accomplished a similar task to what I am trying to do?  I'm hoping 
that perhaps I made a mistake using the Configure script, and a different set 
of parameters will solve this problem.

Thanks and regards,
Greg Guyotte
