Yes, I have patches but need to figure out how they should be enabled: we need to do it properly, which means having a way to tell "make world" what types of CPU-specific optimizations (i.e. asm code) it should perform (e.g. if you have a Pentium II but there are no pentium II-specific optimizations, you still want pentium optimizations). > Failing that, can the ports be used to build Apache_modssl for > 4-stable users? If performance is critical you can remove the FORBIDDEN check in the openssl port (I assume thats what you meant) and use that, but it's not really supported and you may have to do some other hackery to bsd.port.mk to make it not look at the system version.
