I had a look at OPENLDAPS_fmt_plug.c and it is a mess. There are
shammx() calls in there but the code is not complete - so there are
simply a couple of #undefs that disables mmx/sse completely!
Furthermore, there was bogus use of sse-intrinsics macro SHA1_N_STR
(though intrinsics functions are not used) which lead to this bogus "8x"
output. This last thing is the case for the two above too (though they
do have working, but non-intrinsics, sse/mmx support).
I will submit a patch that just fixes this bogus use of SHA1_N_STR
though we should eventually enable use of intrinsics in all three.
