Why does the OpenSSL test suite fail in BN_sqr test [on a 64-bit platform]?
Failure in BN_sqr test is most likely caused by a failure to configure the toolkit for current platform or lack of support for the platform in question. Run ‘./config -t’ and ‘./apps/openssl version -p’. Do these platform identifiers match? If they don’t, then you most likely failed to run ./config and you’re hereby advised to do so before filing a bug report. If ./config itself fails to run, then it’s most likely problem with your local environment and you should turn to your system administrator (or similar). If identifiers match (and/or no alternative identifier is suggested by ./config script), then the platform is unsupported. There might or might not be a workaround. Most notably on SPARC64 platforms with GNU C compiler you should be able to produce a working build by running ‘./config -m32’. I understand that -m32 might not be what you want/need, but the build should be operational. For further details turn to
