I forgot to add facts.  This mistakes affects assembler building on
IA64, Sparc and s390x:

    : ; find . -name '*.S'
    ./crypto/s390xcpuid.S
    ./crypto/md5/asm/md5-ia64.S
    ./crypto/aes/asm/aes-ia64.S
    ./crypto/sparccpuid.S
    ./crypto/bn/asm/sparcv8plus.S
    ./crypto/bn/asm/ia64.S
    ./crypto/bn/asm/sparcv8.S
    ./crypto/bn/asm/s390x.S
    ./crypto/ia64cpuid.S
