[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #3773] [PATCH] Configure support for OCTEON boards

[Andy Polyakov via RT]

Hi,

Well, objective is not to collect as many exotic config lines as
possible, but rather more generic ones that we are ready to support and
make them flexible enough to be reusable in more specific contexts. For
example in this case what prevents you from using

./Configure linux-generic32
--cross-compile-prefix=mips64-octeon-linux-gnu- -mabi=n32

and

./Configure linux-generic64 --cross-compile-prefix=mips64-octeon-linux-gnu-

Or better yet

./Configure linux-mips64 --cross-compile-prefix=misp4-octeon-linux-gnu-

and

./Configure linux64-mips64 --cross-compile-prefix=misp4-octeon-linux-gnu-

and take advantage of assembly support?
