[pypy-dev] Build pypy 2.5.1 source code on Redhat EL5.7

[Yicong Huang]

Hi,

We would like to try latest pypy 2.5.1.
However, we found out the downloaded binary was not compatible with our
Linux enviroment (Redhat EL5.7, kernel 2.6.32). And for some reasons, we
have no plans to upgrade Linux soon.
I tried to build pypy 2.5.1 source code, and met some errors as below:

[translation:ERROR] CompilationError: CompilationError(err="""
[translation:ERROR] /tmp/usession-release-2.5.1-23/platcheck_31.c: In
function ‘dump_section_SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL’:
[translation:ERROR] /tmp/usession-release-2.5.1-23/platcheck_31.c:719:

error: ‘TLSEXT_NAMETYPE_host_name’ undeclared (first use in this function)

I checked openssl version on the system:
$grep "define OPENSSL_VERSION_TEX" /usr/include/openssl/opensslv.h
#define OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT "OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008"
#define OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT "OpenSSL 0.9.8e-rhel5 01 Jul 2008"

OpenSSL version looks old and does not have those variables definition.
Any good ideas to solve the issue?

Thanks!
