 * Parallell make leads to errors
@@ -134,3 +136,78 @@ Any information helping to solve this issue would be deeply
 appreciated.
 
 NOTE: building non-shared doesn't come with this problem.
+
+* ULTRIX build fails with shell errors, such as "bad substitution"
+  and "test: argument expected"
+
+The problem is caused by ULTRIX /bin/sh supporting only original
+Bourne shell syntax/semantics, and the trouble is that the vast
+majority is so accustomed to more modern syntax, that very few
+people [if any] would recognize the ancient syntax even as valid.
+This inevitably results in non-trivial scripts breaking on ULTRIX,
+and OpenSSL isn't an exclusion. Fortunately there is workaround,
+hire /bin/ksh to do the job /bin/sh fails to do.
+
+1. Trick make(1) to use /bin/ksh by setting up following environ-
+   ment variables *prior* you execute ./Configure and make:
+
+	PROG_ENV=POSIX
+	MAKESHELL=/bin/ksh
+	export PROG_ENV MAKESHELL
+
+   or if your shell is csh-compatible:
+
+	setenv PROG_ENV POSIX
+	setenv MAKESHELL /bin/ksh
+
+2. Trick /bin/sh to use alternative expression evaluator. Create
+   following 'test' script for example in /tmp:
+
+	#!/bin/ksh
+	${0##*/} "$@"
+
+   Then 'chmod a+x /tmp/test; ln /tmp/test /tmp/[' and *prepend*
+   your $PATH with chosen location, e.g. PATH=/tmp:$PATH. Alter-
+   natively just replace system /bin/test and /bin/[ with the
+   above script.
+
+* hpux64-ia64-cc fails blowfish test.
+
+Compiler bug, presumably at particular patch level. It should be noted
+that same compiler generates correct 32-bit code, a.k.a. hpux-ia64-cc
+target. Drop optimization level to +O2 when compiling 64-bit bf_skey.o.
+
+* no-engines generates errors.
+
+Unfortunately, the 'no-engines' configuration option currently doesn't
+work properly.  Use 'no-hw' and you'll will at least get no hardware
+support.  We'll see how we fix that on OpenSSL versions past 0.9.8.
+
+* 'make test' fails in BN_sqr [commonly with "error 139" denoting SIGSEGV]
+  if elder GNU binutils were deployed to link shared libcrypto.so.
+
+As subject suggests the failure is caused by a bug in elder binutils,
+either as or ld, and was observed on FreeBSD and Linux. There are two
+options. First is naturally to upgrade binutils, the second one - to
+reconfigure with additional no-sse2 [or 386] option passed to ./config.
+
+* If configured with ./config no-dso, toolkit still gets linked with -ldl,
+  which most notably poses a problem when linking with dietlibc.
+
+We don't have framework to associate -ldl with no-dso, therefore the only
+way is to edit Makefile right after ./config no-dso and remove -ldl from
+EX_LIBS line.
+
+* hpux-parisc2-cc no-asm build fails with SEGV in ECDSA/DH.
+
+Compiler bug, presumably at particular patch level. Remaining
+hpux*-parisc*-cc configurations can be affected too. Drop optimization
+level to +O2 when compiling bn_nist.o.
+
+* solaris64-sparcv9-cc link failure
+
+Solaris 8 ar can fail to maintain symbol table in .a, which results in
+link failures. Apply 109147-09 or later or modify Makefile generated
+by ./Configure solaris64-sparcv9-cc and replace RANLIB assignment with
+
+	RANLIB= /usr/ccs/bin/ar rs
