For 32-bit MD4/MD5/SHA1, we have -sse2 that only use asm, and -sse2i
that use precompiled intrinsics. Perhaps the sse2 build targets should
be altered to use Bartavelle's intrinsics code (but not precompiled) -
and only switch to asm for gcc older than 4.1.
I actually tried building sse-intrinsics.o with a gcc-3.3 I found on an
ancient Debian 32-bit system. It cowardly bailed out with "internal
compiler error" :)

There was a regression for Bartavelle's intrinsics in gcc 4.5 that was
recovered in 4.6:
crypt-MD5 intrinsics (best PARA for each compiler, Q9550):
icc 12.1.0 PARA 3: 32058 real, 31994 virtual
gcc 4.4.6 PARA 3: 24996 real, 25147 virtual
gcc 4.5.4 PARA 2: 18528 real, 18528 virtual
gcc 4.6.1 PARA 4: 27445 real, 27554 virtual
And the same goes for SHA1. MD4 seems unaffected by this. BTW, would you
be able to try my testpara make targets with all those versions of gcc?
