I do not think we want to spend arguing over the last few
percent to get anything ultra-fast.  The aim for compat/ is to
have a replacement for unusable platform-supplied stuff.

The patch looked fine, thanks.

If I may add a bikeshed comment, I probably would have modelled
the make variable, not after ssl-with-crypto and libiconv, but
after {arm,mozilla,ppc}-sha1, if I were naming it.  This is not
like an absolute must-to-have: "on this platform, libc is not
enough and we NEED to explicitly ask for -liconv".  It is more
like a choose-to-use: "we could use openssl sha1 implementation,
but I choose to use Mozilla one".
