If non-matching platform config happens to work, it's a party trick, not
support matter.

As it appears to be compiler problem, the case is being dismissed as
non-OpenSSL issue. But one could still point out that it likely means
that compiler is not cared for in sense that it's not like Sun compiler
is known to be pathologically/inherently broken, bugs do get fixed and
it wouldn't be surprising if latest compiler patch/revision works.
