Ok, here's the first run. I only changed DES_bs_b.c to add test for
__AVX512F__. It took about 40 minutes to finish. A few formats failed
and some seem to be using AVX2 instead of AVX512. I'll see if can fix
them (or some of them) when I have time. Please see the attachment for
details.
BTW, it seems John doesn't support out of source build. The generated
Makefile always assumes Makefile.dep is under the same directory. It
would be nice if I can use a separate build directory and not mess
object files with source code :)
