Then it may be the optimization issue as well that Peter indicated. May I ask 
you for testing purposes (I do not have an OpenRISC) to remove the following 
line from crypto/Makefile:

CFLAGS_jitterentropy.o = -O0

Note, that should just serve for testing. I will post a patch later that will 
replace the -O0 statement with a pragma.

Thanks a lot.
