I've pushed a change to delete md5 assembly on branch delete-md5-asm, for testing. I don't think carrying md5 assembly code is worth the complexity. The arcfour assembly was deleted in the 3.9 release. Deletion candidates remaining: 32-bit x86 (aes (non-aesni), sha1, camellia). 32-bit sparc. 32-bit ARM prior to ARMv6. Possibly also 64-bit sparc; currently, only sparc64-assembly is for aes, written in 2007 based on the sparc32 code. So unclear how relevant it is for current sparc processors).
