1) I replace your macro (which unfortunately follows Tim Chens twisted code)
   COMPLETELY with a clean and simple implementation: message schedule first,
   update of state variables last.
   You don't need ".if \i >= 12 && \i < 60"/".if \i >= 4 && \i < 52" at all!

2) I replace the .irp which invokes your macro with a .rept: my macro uses \@
   instead of an argument for the round number.

<https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as.html#Macro>

| \@
|    as maintains a counter of how many macros it has executed in this pseudo-
|    variable; you can copy that number to your output with '\@', but only
|    within a macro definition. 

That's all.
