[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#335486: openssl: FTBFS (ppc64): "gcc: '-b' must come at the start of the command line"

[Andreas Jochens]

Package: openssl
Version: 0.9.8a-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

When building 'openssl' on ppc64/unstable, I get the following error:

gcc -I. -I.. -I../include -DZLIB_SHARED -DZLIB -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -bpowerpc64-linux -DB_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -O3 -g -Wall   -c -o cryptlib.o cryptlib.c
gcc: '-b' must come at the start of the command line
make[2]: *** [cryptlib.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/openssl-0.9.8a/crypto'


This problem had already been fixed in the openssl-0.9.7* package version
but it reappeared in openssl-0.9.8.

With the attached patch 'openssl' can be compiled on ppc64.

The patch replaces the problematic '-bpowerpc-linux' by '-m64' in two places
in the 'debian-ppc64' target definition in Configure. 

Additionally, the patch removes 'linux_ppc64.o' from the 'debian-ppc64'
target because it causes the compilation to fail.
