Do these platform +identifiers match? If they don't, then you most likely failed to run +./config and you're hereby advised to do so before filing a bug report. +If ./config itself fails to run, then it's most likely problem with your +local environment and you should turn to your system administrator (or +similar). If identifiers match (and/or no alternative identifier is +suggested by ./config script), then the platform is unsupported. There might +or might not be a workaround. Most notably on SPARC64 platforms with GNU +C compiler you should be able to produce a working build by running +'./config -m32'. I understand that -m32 might not be what you want/need, +but the build should be operational. + [PROG] ======================================================================== * Is OpenSSL thread-safe?
