[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4523] Failure - make test

[Andy Polyakov via RT]

Hi,

> I got an failure at "make test" sea end of Mail

Well, at the end of the mail it says that it failed to link. It's rather
indication of something going wrong with *your* compiler setup. We more
or less stand for correctness of code and you stand for providing sane
compiler environment it can be compiled in. In other words this is
likely to be non-OpenSSL problem. Judging from presented output it
indeed didn't attempt to build libssl, but why is that it's virtually
impossible to tell. Maybe there was a malformed leftover file left from
previous unsuccessful build attempt... Or in other words this particular
problem is likely for you to solve.

However! I want to point out that formally in this case we can't be held
responsible even for code correctness, because ...

... your compiler appears to be 64-bit one, but you configure for
linux-generic32. For 64-bit cases there is linux-generic64 and that's
what we support. The fact that linux-generic32 actually worked is
nothing but a fun fact, as we won't accept bug reports if it didn't. One
should also keep in mind that linux-generic* targets are for targets
that don't have explicit platform support. In the context it means that
while we won't refuse to answer the questions about linux-generic64 on
x86_64, we would still keep recommending to adhere to linux-x86_64
configuration on x86_64 Linux system, because that's what is explicitly
tested.
