dovecot - Aug 2017 - trouble compiling Dovecot 2.2.31 on Solaris 10 SPARC - libssl_iostream_openssl.so is not portable!

I would also check where the "... is not portable!" messaage is
generated.
If it's done by the configure script, you can look at the test to give
you a hint as to why this message was generated.

For my setup, I did much the same as you but didn't have to set
the SSL_CFLAGS, SSL_LIBS environment variables, nor did I set the
--with-ssldir configure option (although your setup may need it).

Maybe check output of

 	file /Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.32/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0

just to make sure your library's arhitecture matches your expectation.

I believe "--with-storages" option is now obsolete: all the storage
backends are built, whether you ask for it or not.

Hello Joseph,

Thanks for the reply.  Please see inline comments:

James (from the 1st reply) comments that this is a common output and is of no 
concern.   Wondering if someone else can validate?

I did this stuff specifically because the system has some old OpenSSL 0.9.7* 
stuff that is obviously obsolete and insecure, but cannot be removed.  In short,
I did not want for the Dovecot configure script to find or try to use any of 
that stuff.

Thanks again Joseph.   Left this off the last reply.  Regarding storages, OK, I 
will leave this configure option off for future build attempts.
