$NetBSD: MESSAGE.SunOS,v 1.1 2011/01/20 16:25:21 tez Exp $
openssl may dump core on SunOS due to a bug in the Solaris linker which
erroneously pads .init segment with zeros [instead of nops]. Since the
bug is triggered at initialization, it can be seen with a simple test like
'openssl version'.
Some versions of gcc already contain a workaround, and the linker may be
fixed in some release. If you see the problem, there are details and a
fix for gcc at http://www.openssl.org/~appro/values.c which solves the
problem.
