     I see. I am having great difficulty with 3.3 on an old Sun SPARC64
server where there really is not any libatomic support. Well, there is
sort of but it is a hack. Given how portable the code is there must be a
configuration option somewhere to disable the need for those atomic ops.

     Meanwhile, OpenSSL 3.0.x builds and tests flawlessly but ... how
long will that last?
