Hello, I apologise if this is the wrong list.
I have cross compiled openssl to ARM (using gcc-4.6 on Ubuntu) - both versions 0.9.8y and versions 1.0.1e. When using objdump to view the result, I see that sha512_block_data_order takes ~3k (2744 in 0.9.8y, and 3464 in 1.0.1e) of stack space. Since an assembler version is available for this method, this issue is academic. However, I am curious, and a quick google search didn't reveal anything. I have looked at the C code and did not see something obvious that should cause this. Additionally, the x86 compilation product takes ~1004 (in 1.0.1e) bytes (which also seems much, but only a third of the ARM version). Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone know why this happens? Thank you, Omer Anson.
