Bringing this from john-users to john-dev, as it's about the source code:

Thanks for the patch.
Looking at x86-64.S in jumbo, I see it also saves/restores %xmm6 through
%xmm15 when building for Win64. Perhaps this is unnecessary in a build
with midipix, since musl does not currently use those registers and JtR
core does not use any other libraries. But this may be something to
include if I apply a patch like this to the core tree. Or at least
there should be a comment added about this piece missing. Otherwise it
could be an unpleasant surprise to someone when things are neither fully
working nor fully broken in a non-midipix Win64 build of the core tree.
