[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#686066: libghc-cryptocipher-dev: AES-NI support not compiled in the library (100x performance boost)

[Nuutti Kotivuori]

Package: libghc-cryptocipher-dev
Version: 0.3.5-1+b1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Currently, compiling the haskell-cryptocipher package does not pass any special
flags to the configure process. The package contains AES-NI support, but it has
to be enabled manually.

As per comments on #debian-haskell, I am suggesting enabling "-faesni" on
at least amd64 architecture, possibly i686 etc. as well.

Included is a patch enabling it on amd64 only.
