Well, that certainly explains it.

I wonder if that thing is worth it. It seems to be based on the bad
slow version of sha1, so I suspect that the biggest advantage of it
may the byte-swapping being done more efficiently. The ARM version of
"get_unaligned_be32()" is potentially pretty bad.

Joachim, does it all work for you if you just remove 'sha1.o' from
lib-y in arch/arm/lib/Makefile?

Nico (now with corrected email address): is that ARM-optimized asm
really worth it? Compared to the git C implementation?
