I'm trying to build Nettle under MacOSX 10.4.2 (Tiger).

The AES code appears to use custom assembly - and there only appears to be sparc and x86 versions of this code.

Plain C code is used for architectures for which there's no custom assembler code. The C files (nettle/aes*.c) should be a complete working implementation of AES.

Is there any support for either doing this directly in C. or for getting assembly for other processors, like ppc?

I don't know much about ppc, but contributions of working, benchmarked and tested assembler code is appreciated ;-)

Since you're asking about this, I'm suspecting that configure and make didn't work out of the box for you. Bug reports with more details are appreciated as well.
