Address issues with latest AWS-LC and OpenBSD #569

Closed graebm closed 3 months ago

graebm commented 3 months ago

Issue: The latest AWS-LC was crashing on OpenBSD 7.4, when running test test.test_http_client.TestClient.test_connect_pq_tlsv1_0_2021_05

Investigation: AWS-LC added OpenBSD 7.4 and 7.5 Support in v1.26.0. Ironically, these changes broke our existing OpenBSD 7.4 CI. My understanding is: "support OpenBSD" means "support fancy assembly math, instead of using vanilla C code math" on OpenBSD. This fancy assembly math currently reads from the .text section of the library, which is forbidden if a library is linked with the --execute-only flag, which OpenBSD 7.4+ uses by default.
