Are you using SHA1DC on that system, and does compiling with another

I was thinking it might be an 'endian' issue. So, yes - AIX runs on POWER,
only as BigEndian.
Well, that explains it.  I would recommend submitting a patch to
https://github.com/cr-marcstevens/sha1collisiondetection, and the we can
pull in the updated submodule with that fix.
Not sure I am smart enough to do that. I'll have to download, build, and see what it says.

In the mean time, you could build using OpenSSL or the block SHA-1
implementation, and switch back once things are in a good state.  I do
recommend using SHA1DC for things long term, though, as attacks on SHA-1
are only going to get better.
Any suggestions on where/how to do this?
