[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4138] Detection of assembler version

[Kurt Roeckx via RT]

Hi,

I just found out that building with at least with the French
locale the AVX code is missing.  The problem is this code in
crypto/sha/asm/sha1-x86_64.pl:
if (`$ENV{CC} -Wa,-v -c -o /dev/null -x assembler /dev/null 2>&1`
                =~ /GNU assembler version ([2-9]\.[0-9]+)/) {
        $avx = ($1>=2.19) + ($1>=2.22);
}

In English it returns:
GNU assembler version 2.25.1 (x86_64-linux-gnu) using BFD version (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.25.1

But in French it returns:
Version de l'assembleur GNU 2.25.1 (x86_64-linux-gnu) utilisant la version BFD (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.25.1

A quick grep at least shows 17 affected files.

The fix should be easy setting the locale to C when doing that
check.


Kurt
