#### OpenSSL asm support
OpenSSL-1.1.0 requires the following asssembler version for use of asm
-support.
+support on x86_64 and ia32.
* gas (GNU assembler) version 2.23 or higher
* xcode version 5.0 or higher
* llvm version 3.3 or higher
* nasm version 2.10 or higher in Windows
-Otherwise, `--openssl-no-asm` is added with warning in configure.
+Otherwise `configure` will fail with an error. This can be avoided by
+either providing a newer assembler as per the list above or by
+using the `--openssl-no-asm` flag.
*Note:* The forthcoming OpenSSL-1.1.1 will require higher
version. Please refer
