The test shows generic crypt() DES.

Try applying my patch "0020" from the wiki (I'm pretty sure it can be 
applied right onto a plain jumbo-5) and then run it like this:

$ ./john -test -format=crypt -sub=sha512
Benchmarking: generic crypt(3) [?/64]... (2xOMP) DONE
Many salts:	444 c/s real, 225 c/s virtual
Only one salt:	444 c/s real, 224 c/s virtual

$ ./john -test -format=crypt -sub=sha256
Benchmarking: generic crypt(3) [?/64]... (2xOMP) DONE
Many salts:	384 c/s real, 192 c/s virtual
Only one salt:	384 c/s real, 192 c/s virtual
