Hi,

I tried to remove the code but it seems it was still needed to link
even if dead. A workaround for the problem which makes the package
build for me is to paste this in the top of the two affected .c files:

#ifdef __NetBSD__
asm(".arch armv8-a+crypto");
#endif

I'm a bit reluctant to commit it unless nobody can explain what's going
on with the compiler.
