I don't remember for the details, it was with Nut 3.9.9 or something  
like that. :)
But on my other PC I thing I have the sources, so I can look it, or  
make some test in my sam7x board.

It was only a quick and dirty test, and the porting is very poor  
(example havage.c) but it would be nice to
reimplement it.

Meanwhile it's not maintained any more, and has renamed to polarssl.
