* Delete all arcfour assembly code. Affects 32-bit x86, 32-bit
and 64-bit sparc.
+ Known issues:
+
+ * Version 6.2.1 of GNU GMP (the most recent GMP release as of
+ this writing) has a known issue for MacOS on 64-bit ARM: GMP
+ assembly files use the reserved x18 register. On this
+ platform it is recommended to use a GMP snapshot where this
+ bug is fixed, and upgrade to a later GMP release when one
+ becomes available.
+
+ * Also on MacOS, Nettle's testsuite may still break due to
+ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH being discarded under some circumstances.
+ As a workaround, use
+
+ make check EMULATOR='env DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(TEST_SHLIB_DIR)'
