Problem with VIA C3 chip and libcrypto
I have found a problem with using the latest libssl package on a machine
( an ECS A900 ) which uses the VIA C3 chip. However I am not sure it is
a problem with libssl, so I thought I would ask here before entering bugs.
The latest libssl has processor specific versions of libcrypto, and the
one that ldd reports will be used is in /usr/lib/i686. But when this
one is used ssh and other such programs that use ssl fall over with an
illegal instruction fault. If I rename /usr/lib/i686 ssh works properly.
Now when I built the kernel (2.4.19) I specified that this was a VIA C3
and CONFIG_MCYRIXIII was set. However I noticed that when building the
kernel there were frequent references to march=586, note not 686.
/proc/cpuinfo reports:
processor : 0
vendor_id : CentaurHauls
cpu family : 6
model : 7
model name : VIA Samuel 2
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 731.018
cache size : 64 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 mtrr pge mmx 3dnow
bogomips : 1458.17
I also notice that when I log on to a console (not X) that i686 is
mentioned in the banner.
Anyone got any ideas?
David
