I tested similar hack with https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/14559 on Linux. Then I got
cksum with aws-lc (no jitter): 4.6 MB
cksum with static openssl: 7.0 MB
cksum with system openssl: 2.3 MBAlso linkage against system openssl is still possible even if aws-lc feature is set via OPENSSL_NO_VENDOR=1.
