19 Yeah, I agree it would be awkward.

21 I've done some further investigating, and I was wrong about it being
22 "-g", it's having no optimizations turned on:
23
24 (-O0)
25 # dhcp213:.../work/openssl-0.9.8e/crypto/engine# i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
26 -I.. -I../.. -I../../include -fPIC -DOPENSSL_PIC -DZLIB_SHARED -DZLIB
27 -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DL_ENDIAN
28 -DTERMIO -Wall -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_PART_WORDS -DSHA1_ASM -DMD5_ASM
29 -DRMD160_ASM -DAES_ASM -Wa,--noexecstack -c -o eng_padlock.o
30 eng_padlock.c -march=i686 -O0
31 eng_padlock.c: In function 'padlock_xcrypt_ecb':
32 eng_padlock.c:445: error: can't find a register in class 'GENERAL_REGS'
33 while reloading 'asm'
34
35 where as: (-O1 -g)
36 # dhcp213:.../work/openssl-0.9.8e/crypto/engine# i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
37 -I.. -I../.. -I../../include -fPIC -DOPENSSL_PIC -DZLIB_SHARED -DZLIB
38 -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DL_ENDIAN
39 -DTERMIO -Wall -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_PART_WORDS -DSHA1_ASM -DMD5_ASM
40 -DRMD160_ASM -DAES_ASM -Wa,--noexecstack -c -o eng_padlock.o
41 eng_padlock.c -O1 -g
42
43 compiles fine.

45 Now for my $0.02. eng_padlock is for VIA Padlock hardware support (hence
46 its ASM implementation), which I don't imagine is many x86 users let
47 alone prefix portage x86 users (I could be wrong :) ). It's pretty easy
48 to disable the VIA support, and OpenSSL will still function without it.
49 I've attached a patch. Maybe haubi will have some better ideas.
