Openssl Version 1.1.1b fails to compile on Solaris platform(Intel & Sparc)

[Parth Patel]

Hi All,

We are trying to build OpenSSL version 1.1.1b on Solaris, but it fails with
following error:

libcrypto.map: file format not recognized; treating as linker script
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[2]: *** [libcrypto.so] Error 1
gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2

$ uname -a
SunOS mh-vmss3fnpb32.enguk.acresso.com 5.10 Generic_147147-26 sun4v sparc
sun4v


This is happening because of the flags defined in
Configurations/10-main.conf:

#### Solaris configurations
    "solaris-common" => {
        inherit_from     => [ "BASE_unix" ],
        template         => 1,
        lib_cppflags     => "-DFILIO_H",
        ex_libs          => add("-lsocket -lnsl -ldl"),
        dso_scheme       => "dlfcn",
        thread_scheme    => "pthreads",
        shared_target    => "self",
        shared_extension => ".so.\$(SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER)",
        shared_ldflag    => "-Wl,-Bsymbolic",
        shared_defflag   => "-Wl,-M,",
        shared_sonameflag=> "-Wl,-h,",
    },

After changing the shared_defflag to "-Wl, -Map," it works fine. i.e "-Wl,
-M" is not recognized on Solaris, it needs to be "-Wl, -Map,".
Couple of queries here:
1. Is it not a bug on Solaris with OpenSSL 1.1.1b version?
2. Can we modify 'Configurations/10-main.conf' in our local copy of OpenSSL
which is used internally by our product?Will it cause any licensing
problem(OpenSSL license and GPL)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Parth
