I am happy to try this. Some pointers would be invaluable.


Is it worth trying to compile the OpenSSL egg with fewer flags first to
see if that makes it work?

Hmmm... perhaps that doesn't make sense.
Where would the error get in? The egg code would already be compiled so
calling csc on the repro case would just compile the calls to the eggs
so surely it makes sense to only fiddle with the compiler options on
that compilation?



I have 4.7.0 did that have specialisations?
