solaris - Compiling Apache mod_ssl for different target hardware (hardware capability unsupported SSE2 error)

I am building and packaging the following on one machine (the "build" machine) and attempting to install and use on other machines ("target" machines) some of which have different processors.

• OpenSSL 0.9.8l



• Apache 2.2.14


• Tomcat Connectors 1.2.28

The problem, as far as I can tell, is that the build machine has more CPU capabilities than the target machine resulting in binaries that are not executable on the target machine. I have attempted to use configure and compiler flags to disable use of the offending instructions without luck.

Ultimately I get this error:

$ ./apachectl start 

httpd: Syntax error on line 58 of /usr/local/apache-2.2.14/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so into server: ld.so.1: httpd: 
fatal: /usr/local/openssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: hardware capability unsupported: 
0x1000 [ SSE2 ]

Here is my complete build process. Full output from each command can be viewed here. I can't link to them each directly since I don't have enough SF rep.

Testing

At this point everything will work on the build machine. Once I package these files and install them on the target machine, I get this error when Apache is started with mod_ssl enabled.

$ ./apachectl start

httpd: Syntax error on line 58 of /usr/local/apache-2.2.14/conf/httpd.conf: 
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so into server: ld.so.1: httpd: 
fatal: /usr/local/openssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: hardware capability unsupported:

Answer

I worked around this problem by building the packages on a machine with equivalent hardware to the target machine and using the Sun Studio CC compiler instead of gcc.
