Probably not. We retired our farm of S1000s late last year. But all of the libraries that we use are still v8+. I'll need to recompile over half of our locally installed apps if I recompile libcrypto from OpenSSL. That lib makes it's presence known! Given that performance is not that big an issue (We're running Sparc/Solaris after all!), it'll take us at least the rest of the year to get it all out of the v8+ abi. By then, we may well be running Opteron/Solaris or even Opteron/FreeBSD.

Indeed, That's the ticket. The link chain took me back to -lcrypto. Our libcrypto.so is a sparc-v8+ so that one pkg can live on all of our sparcs.
And so, compiling gmp, *and* nettle, (and pike and caudium) v8+ mode solved the problem.
Note that this will make GMP run about 2x slower. Does v8 compatibility really matter, these days?
