 As long as Apple doesn't fix the problem with ld, this problem building
 OpenSSL will remain as is.
 
+
+* Parallell make leads to errors
+
+While running tests, running a parallell make is a bad idea.  Many test
+scripts use the same name for output and input files, which means different
+will interfere with each other and lead to test failure.
+
+The solution is simple for now: don't run parallell make when testing.
+
+
+* Bugs in gcc 3.0 triggered
+
+According to a problem report, there are bugs in gcc 3.0 that are
+triggered by some of the code in OpenSSL, more specifically in
+PEM_get_EVP_CIPHER_INFO().  The triggering code is the following:
+
+       header+=11;
+       if (*header != '4') return(0); header++;
+       if (*header != ',') return(0); header++;
+
+What happens is that gcc might optimize a little too agressively, and
+you end up with an extra incrementation when *header != '4'.
+
+We recommend that you upgrade gcc to as high a 3.x version as you can.
+
+* solaris64-sparcv9-cc SHA-1 performance with WorkShop 6 compiler.
+
+As subject suggests SHA-1 might perform poorly (4 times slower)
+if compiled with WorkShop 6 compiler and -xarch=v9. The cause for
+this seems to be the fact that compiler emits multiplication to
+perform shift operations:-( To work the problem around configure
+with './Configure solaris64-sparcv9-cc -DMD32_REG_T=int'.
