Or course you probably mean to say that this is evidence that SHA2
appears to be broken on SPARC. In order to make trouble-shooting more
structured it's appropriate to double-check and confirm this by testing
different s_client -cipher against s_server running on SPARC. Then to
spare time one can drop optimization level only for affected module by
manually removing corresponding .o, modifying CFLAG in top Makefile and
re-running make. This way only couple of files will be recompiled so you
don't have to wait for complete build (which is rather slow on SPARC).
In other words, identify algorithm first, then experiment with compiler
optimization levels.
