+* Why does OpenBSD-i386 build fail on des-586.s with "Unimplemented
+ segment type"?
+
+As of 0.9.7 assembler routines were overhauled for position independency
+of the machine code, which is essential for shared library support. Now
+for some reason OpenBSD is equipped with out-of-date GNU assembler which
+finds the new code offending. To work the problem around configure with
+no-asm (and sacrifice a great deal of performance) or upgrade /usr/bin/as.
+For your convenience a pre-compiled replacement binary is provided as
+http://www.openssl.org/~appro/i386-openbsd3-as, which is compiled from
+binutils-2.8 released in 1997.
