if you run:
/usr/tests/crypto/libcrypto/h_bntest
/usr/tests/crypto/libcrypto/h_ectest
/usr/tests/crypto/libcrypto/h_ecdsatest
/usr/tests/crypto/libcrypto/h_rsatest

directly, they ought to be very talkative and tell you at which test of
the respective functions they get stuck. I hope all four have a common
cause.

That's mostly me being a completionist. Makes working on checking if they
have an advantage and activating them if yes at a later date easier.

If you don't use an ASM method it should fall back to C and that should
always work, just be a bit slower, and most of the ASM in sparc only kicks
in if MACHINE is sparc64.
