Hi,

I created a jtr_mic_logic.m4 under john/src/m4, and put those special logic for MIC in that file. 
Currently this file is simple as:
------------------------------------------------------------------
AC_DEFUN([JTR_MIC_SPECIAL_LOGIC], [
CPU_BEST_FLAGS="-no-opt-prefetch"
LIBS="-lssl -lcrypto"
])
------------------------------------------------------------------

Although this works, I'm not sure if I should add the flag "-no-opt-prefetch" to CPU_BEST_FLAGS or some other predefined variables.
BTW, by setting LIBS="-lssl -lcrypto" here, I don't have to type them every time I configure for MIC.

Any advices?

Lei
