I finally found the bug: its name is "g++"

What platform are you trying to compile openSSL on? 

I know for a fact that on sparc-solaris when on an  ultrasparc machine 
openssl's configure system (not autoconf based) decides to use gcc as
a compiler with -mcpu=ultrasparc 
And gcc -mcpu=ultrasparc is _documented_ not to work on _any_ released
version of gcc. I reported that to the openssl guys 4-5 month ago but
I see that it was not fixed in the latest release. 
If openssl's  configure system can't get something as basic as that
right, I wouldn't be surprised that there are other problems there...

Other than that I find gcc-3.0 to be an excellent compiler for my
uses.
