Is it possible to run the tests/the build on such a host with the following environment variables set?

As we debugged yesterday, the tests are failing like this:

However, building the 5.1.2 on the same box works fine, while 5.1.3 does not: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8026147/

Doing a bisection, this appears to be a result of 636076d45d6879c8679c721714451bfe89617e15.

- Subject changed from test_vectors failing on ubuntu utopic ppc64el to test_vectors fail for af-alg crypters on ubuntu utopic ppc64el
Correct, so earlier releases were prone to the same issue, the unit tests just didn't reveal it (636076d45d was released with 5.1.3).
I guess we'd have to have a closer look at AF_ALG on ppc64el, to see what triggers errors like these:
writing to AF_ALG crypter failed: Cannot allocate memory disabled AES_CBC[af-alg]: aes_cbc1 test vector failed
But that might be difficult due to the lack of a suitable test system (doing this in QEMU is a pain). So the only fix, for now, is disabling the af-alg plugin on this platform.
