Adding this in $(OPENSSL_TARGET_CONFIGURE) just before the end:
$(SED) "s:-march=[-a-z0-9] ::" -e "s:-mcpu=[-a-z0-9] ::g"
$(OPENSSL_DIR)/Makefile
$(SED) "s:-O[0-9]:$(TARGET_CFLAGS):" $(OPENSSL_DIR)/Makefile
Gets rid of the "guesstimate" optimizations openssl does and we win on
size optimization while at it.
For ARM EABI old size:
1542542 libcrypto.so.0.9.8
296769 libssl.so.0.9.8
New size:
1435414 libcrypto.so.0.9.8
279543 libssl.so.0.9.8
