Got this set up now, and tested successfully on an Ultrasparc T5
(gcc202.fsffrance.org). Speedup of aes128 ctr was around 20%.

Speaking of sparc, recent chips have some crypto instructions which
could be used to speedup aes considerably. I don't think I'm going to do
any more sparc assembly hacking soon, but if someone else is interested
in sparc performance, it might be a reasonably easy project with large
speedup.

Current sparc aes code was written back in 2005, using the 32-bit
sparcstation I had at home at the time, running Redhat linux. It was
adapted for sparc64 by Henrik Grubbström, and essentially the same code
is used for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
