This seems to output something like this: .section __TEXT,__const

I see. So we need to define a system-dependent RODATA macro in config.m4, expanding to the right directive.

Second problem was .hword, what pseudoop does Apple's assembler use for 16-bit constants? I think current GNU as has a couple of different names for the same thing, so if we can find a name accepted by both assemblers that's nice, otherwise it's another problem which requires a macro in config.m4.

As said before, all previous releases of nettle have worked just fine on OS X.

That's very nice, and in a large part that's thanks to your work.
