In revision 10225 (and some older ones), openssl fails to build.  This is the error I get:

make[6]: Entering directory `/mnt/openwrt/exobyte/trunk/build_dir/i386/openssl-0.9.8e/apps'
/mnt/openwrt/exobyte/trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-i386_gcc4.1.2/bin/../lib/gcc/i386-linux-uclibc/4.1.2/../../../../i386-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: /mnt/openwrt/exobyte/trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-i386_gcc4.1.2/lib/libc.a(gethostbyaddr_r.os)(.text+0x1fe): unresolvable R_386_GOTOFF relocation against symbol `__nameservers'

I opened a ticket for this, but thought I should also post here in case anyone has any ideas.

A fresh checkup seemed to fix things.

The discussion might have continued from here.
