[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4366] OS X 10.5, 64-bit PPC, no-asm, and "Failed test 'running asynctest'"

[Andy Polyakov via RT]

>>> Bump... The issue is still present as of b36a2ef for OS X 10.6 64-bit.
>>> 32-bit tests OK.
>>>
>>> The relevant snippets are:
>>>
>>> $ make test
>>> ...
>>> ../test/recipes/90-test_async.t ........... 1/1
>>> #   Failed test 'running asynctest'
>>> #   at ../test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm line 70.
>>> # Looks like you failed 1 test of 1.
>>> ../test/recipes/90-test_async.t ........... Dubious, test returned 1
>>> (wstat 256, 0x100)
>>> Failed 1/1 subtests
>>
>> Once again, "it boils down to the fact that getcontext always returns
>> failure to ppc64 program. There is nothing we can do about it, you just
>> have to accept that this particular thing doesn't work on MacOS
>> X/ppc64." getcontext is part of libc equivalent, which is why there is
