[openssl-dev] Solaris 10 80-test_ca failure

I have been having 32-bit only test failures from test_ca
for quite a while now on Solaris 10 (1.1.pre), Finally figured
out what is wrong.

I build both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries.
My /usr/local/bin/perl is always 64-bit,
used to be required for assembler support.

LD_PRELOAD is used to force newly built libs into the test process
using util/shlib_wrap.sh

So, when building 32-bit libs, shlib_wrap tries to preload a 32-bit
libcrypto/libssl into the 64-bit perl process when CA.pl is invoked.
This causes failure on Solaris 10, but seems to be ignored on Solaris 11.

There was specific support to handle 64-bit builds in shlib_wrap, this
method also needs to be used for 32-bit builds.

This patch makes it work in all cases for me.
Someone using SPARC should review what /usr/bin/file
reports for an old 32-bit SPARC library (if such still exists)
I have no access to SPARC hardware.
