i'm running linux 1.2.11 on my DX4-100 (might be faster than your P60) 
and i get these results..

zifi:~/crypto/ssl> brutessl -t

                                BruteSSL 1.0

Self test... OK

17 minutes and 8 seconds per segment, 16300 keys per second.
zifi:~/crypto/ssl> file brutessl
brutessl: ELF 32-bit LSB executable i386 (386 and up) Version 1


the perl code doesn't seem to work quite right for me though, giving 
errors when i try to use more than one option at a time, ie.

Identifier "main::dkltrc4" used only once: possible typo.

anyway, i'm not sure i'll be participating this time as i won't be around 
too much.

ciao,
