[openssl.org #238] Solaris 2 shared libraries are built incorrectly with gcc

When configuring OpenSSL 0.9.6g for solaris-sparcv8-gcc/solaris-x86-gcc shared, the way the shared libcrypto.so and libssl.so are built is wrong: * gcc is invoked with gcc -G, but unfortunately this doesn't suffice to trigger shared library generation. Instead, gcc creates a cross of a

[openssl.org #239] Solaris 2/Intel shared libssl/libcrypto contain text relocations
