or might not be a workaround. Most notably on SPARC64 platforms with GNU
C compiler you should be able to produce a working build by running
'./config -m32'. I understand that -m32 might not be what you want/need,

+As of 0.9.7 assembler routines were overhauled for position independence
+of the machine code, which is essential for shared library support. For
+some reason OpenBSD is equipped with an out-of-date GNU assembler which
+finds the new code offensive. To work around the problem, 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 at
+http://www.openssl.org/~appro/i386-openbsd3-as, which is compiled from
+binutils-2.8 released in 1997.
