Well, why don't you at least provide a link to AmiSSL, so it can be examined? You don't have to handhold rsalz in upstreaming a patch from downstream. (You're treating this like you're the boss -- but if you want NO_FP_API and no-stdio to stick around in the upstream, you need to recognize that you're still the petitioner here, asking for something from upstream.)
