Description Conrad Kostecki gentoo-dev

Found here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1065782.html?sid=c49377d82f58857e6846b9111da66798

Currently, OpenSSL is compiled on aarch64 (arm64) with generic64.
But OpenSSL also supports aarch64, which can be easly added.

Only gentoo.config-1.0.2 (used for 1.0.2* & 1.1.0*) has to be changed:
> -      aarch64*be*)  machine="generic64 -DB_ENDIAN";;
> -      aarch64*)     machine="generic64 -DL_ENDIAN";;
> +      aarch64*be*)  machine="aarch64 -DB_ENDIAN";;
> +      aarch64*)     machine="aarch64 -DL_ENDIAN";;

After recompiling with aarch64 instead of generic64, I can see some improvement with "openssl speed" on my Raspberry Pi 3.
