FWIW I did not see any problem when testing it briefly (I intend to test
more). However, I also saw no (or very little) speedup. I was hoping for
similar significant speedup as "make -sj32" when buildin john itself :-(
On a side note, zero binaries does not work so I used this:
perl -e '$c64 =
"./0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
foreach $c1 (split //, $c64) { foreach $c2 (split //, $c64) { print
"$c1${c2}Nf8Sbh3HDfQ\n"; } }' > pw-fakedes

FWIW the needed inline stuff is already present (and tested) and I just
refactored it from lop3_lut() to lut3() like what's being used in
Roman's s4.
After including opencl_misc.h you can now use:
#if HAVE_LUT3
[code using "r = lut3(a, b, c, t);"]
#else
