That's my main problem:
I am unable to install wheezy or jessie, passing all tests supplied with
the source package!

I was trying to stress that on my initial post, only writing the initial
intent for better understanding.
Before I try to find the best solution for me, I'm looking for a way to
install something, that passes the build-tests on my platform.

I tried wheezy and jessie with their appropriate nodejs source, both failed
several tests.
I repeated at least the jessie test on armhf platform, which also failed.
So it would be nice to find someone that is able to pass all 'test-simple'
targets on any platform (i386, amd64, armel, armhf), to have a valid
starting point for me. (I didn't try the Intel platforms so far, but assume
they fail as well)

After finding a solid (wheezy or jessie) base, I might continue to port
that to libssl1.0.2 or to static link to libssl1.0.1 - that's why I asked
for a guide for static linking to openssl.

Would it be an option for you to backport those parts (as opposed to
> forward-port Nodejs which I fear is quite more complex)?

Again, for now nodejs tests seem to fail on older releases too.

Raspberry Pi is arguably _popular_ but certainly not a standard.

Sorry for that - I definitely meant "popular", which is a great advantage
searching for solutions...

Depending on your needs (is brand recognition a need for you?), I

I'm fine with everything that does not cost to much and is easy to purchase.
Is anyone able to pass all nodejs build tests on that platform?
