-On the MIPS platform, @file{md4.c} and @file{md5.c} can not be
-compiled with the optimizer set at level 1. That is, you must specify
-either @samp{--with-ccopts=-O} and @samp{--with-ccopts=-g} to
-configure. If you don't specify either, the compile will never complete.
+On the MIPS platform, using the native compiler, @file{md4.c} and

The optimizer isn't hung; it just takes an exponentially long time. 6
out of the 48 algorithmic steps takes 3 seconds, 7 steps takes 9
seconds, 8 steps takes 27 seconds, and so on. Calculations estimate
it will finish in approximately 3,469 billion years....
+Using GCC version 2.5 instead of the native compiler will also fine,
+both with or without optimization.

@subsection Alpha OSF/1 V1.3
There is a bug in OSF/1's fgrep which causes the @samp{configure}
script to fail.
+Using the native compiler, compiling with the @samp{-O} compiler flag
+causes the @code{asn.1} library to be compiled incorrectly.
+
+Using GCC version 2.6.3 instead of the native compiler will also work
+fine, both with or without optimization.

-@file{md4.c} can not be compiled with the optimizer on. (This could possibly
-be the same sort of bug as found in @ref{Ultrix 4.2/3}, but that seems
-rather remarkable.)
