Comment(by xnyhps):

 I tried to test some separate parts of the function you changed to find a
 difference between PPC and i386, and I think I found a problem with HMAC.
 I used [https://gist.github.com/984568 this code] to test
 [http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2202.html test case 2 of RFC 2202].

 Output on i386 (matches):
 {{{
 $ ./hmac 2&> /dev/null
 effcdf6ae5eb2fa2d27416d5f184df9c259a7c79
 }}}

 Output on PPC (doesn't match):
 {{{
 $ ./hmac 2&> /dev/null
 83956e13f71e0c105b6e2c22175e9335f67f2e7e
 }}}

 I'm not familiar with HMAC or SHA1, but I'll have a look at the code to
 see if I can find out what's wrong.
