I have an old i686 machine with a Cyrix M II CPU which is (barely) capable
of running Fedora. The latest version of openssl
(openssl-1.0.1e-28.fc19.i686) breaks incoming and outgoing ssh. Outgoing
fails with the error "Illegal instruction (core dumped)" (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1022346 ). I installed the
necessary debuginfo packages to get a stack trace from the core file (see
the bug). I guessed that the problem has to do with my CPU not supporting
the NOPL instruction, but can't tell from the stack trace. Has anyone else
had similar trouble with old CPUs, and is there any other information that
would be useful to collect? The maintainer hasn't responded so far.
