 | Christos, why do you think that your change to openssl isn't the real
 | problem here?  now GCC 4.8 is getting its stack unaligned.

 | i have not seen any problem with GCC 5.3.  i'm happily running X11 with
 | a bunch of GL and ssh on my amd4 box with a fully GCC 5.3 compiled by
 | a GCC 5.3 world (though my pkgsrc build failed at around 690 packages
 | i haven't looked at why yet -- though those were a 5.3 world that was
 | compiled by 4.8.)

 This is SIGILL not SIGSEGV (which you get with an unaligned stack) which
 means that the processor detection code is now incompatible with the
 old assembly stubs. Which means in turn that I will either have to replace
 all of it, or import a newer openssl. I'd rather do the latter one since
 it is a waste of time to fix bugs already found and fixed.
