That seemed trivial before I wrote this email, but that was actually the case. The fedora maintainer had removed the --enable-fat option in a seemingly unrelated commit. I've reported it at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1779060 > Is "Smooth CRT" something that I should look up? I do not know more about it. I only saw that in the openssl commit claims a speed up but without any numbers. regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ nettle-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/listinfo/nettle-bugs
