Hi.
Ok, i managed to build a similar scenario as yours under qemu
(virtex-ml507 emulation).
With similar toolchain/versions/options i'm unable to hit the issue.
It's most likely that qemu is being too optimistic in the CPU emulation
department (handling the invalid opcodes for a 440 core).
Did you try switching just a single version?
I'm betting on openssl since it's got powerpc-specific optimizations
whereas zlib and openssh don't.
You could also try disabling the powerpc optimizations in
package/openssl/openssl.mk, just remove the block from ifeq
($(ARCH),powerpc) to the first endif (3 lines).
And let us know :)
Regards.
