Note that the upstream debian 3.6 package uses --enable-fat,
but that also builds libnettle.so.8.

It would be nice to have this configure option added to the
3.5.1 package which builds libnettle.so.7.

Title:
  Nettle: Enable AES-NI instructions on amd64.

Status in nettle package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The current build of libnettle6 does not have AES-NI enabled. There's
  two configure options for enabling it:

  --enable-x86-aesni: Use AES-NI instructions instead of the standard 
implementation. This will break on systems that don't have AES-NI.
  --enable-fat: Build a "fat" library that has the standard implementation and 
the AES-NI implementation. This allows the library to continue working on older 
systems while providing faster performance on systems that have AES-NI.

  Note that Nettle's AES-NI implementation as of v3.2 is only supported
  on amd64, not i386, so this would only affect the 64-bit package.
