I was forced to chose 'RedHat Linux' because the bugzilla didn't have a
better catagory.  I was then forced to chose 'telnet' as the Componet
because bugzilla wouldn't let me enter OpenSSL or OpenSSH. (Perhaps you
folks should make it a tad easier to report bugs?)

The source rpms being distributed at ftp://ftp.redhat.de/ for OpenSSL and
OpenSSH fail to compile on sparc64.  The following is from a fresh install
of 6.2 sparc.

Here is the OpenSSL error:

gcc -I. -I../include -O2 -m64 -mcpu=ultrasparc -DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -Wall
-Wuninitialized -DNO_ASM   -c -o cryptlib.o cryptlib.c
cc1: -m64 is not supported by this configuration
make[1]: *** [cryptlib.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openssl-0.9.5a/crypto'
make: *** [all] Error 1
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.10431 (%build)


I managed to install OpenSSL from the sources fron their website then
attempted a compile of OpenSSH from the src.rpm with --nodeps and got the
following error:

creating cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 -m64 -mcpu=ultrasparc ) works...
no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables.
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.26752 (%build)


I assume that the OpenSSH rpm applies some patches because when I installed
OpenSSH portable from the sources on their ftp site, I could ssh out but
the sshd wouldn't do authentication.  My reason for giving this bug report
a priority of 'high' and a severity of 'security' is that secure logins are
essential on most any network, and that a server without a working sshd is
completely useless to me.
