I take it this could motivate a bugfix release, but on the debian side I guess you may want to backport fixes. >> [2] >> https://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle/-/commit/2dffb58ae9e11a1626aa12a1ca9432338458fb44 I think you also need "Avoid using stxv/lxv instructions in powerpc64/p8 files.", https://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle/-/commit/d891462ba3f6e39e3696b657dcb69e9869ad9762 BTW: You also ask in a different email that nettle shouldn't assume power8 (simplest way would be to disable all powerpc assembly for earlier processors), would you be able to propose or test configure changes for that? (https://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle/-/issues/7 suggested testing for __VSX__, but I suspect that's slightly different from your use case?). Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller.
