+Specific problems on some machines
+==================================
+
+ * IBM RS/6000 running AIX:
+
+ Due to a change in gcc (since version 2.8) the MPI stuff may
+ not build. In this case try to run configure using:
+ CFLAGS="-g -O2 -mcpu=powerpc" ./configure
+
+ * Solaris
+
+ There are reports that the function gethrtime() as used in
+ cipher/random.c raised a SIGILL. It seems that is due to
+ a header/lib miscmatch. Solution is to fix the Solaris
+ installation or comment the call to gethrtime().
