[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #3885] [BUGFIX] OpenSSL fails to cross-compile on 32-bit->64-bit

[Short, Todd via RT]

Hello OpenSSL Org:

This is a change that Akamai has made to its implementation of OpenSSL.

Version: master branch
Description:  OpenSSL fails to cross-compile on 32-bit->64-bit

Older/32-bit versions of perl cannot handle 64-bit numbers, so when
the x86_64-xlate.pl script encounters a 64-bit number, the oct()
function munges it into a double-precision rather than a 64-bit
integer. In this case, we know it's either a hex number or an octal
number. So, if hex, just pass through as hex string, otherwise allow
oct() to handle it.

This is a problem in ghash-x86_64.pl (ghash-x86_64.s), and the solution
has an impact all 64-bit platforms. Ran the unit tests to make sure it's
OK

Thank you.
