I've been continuing to look at git, as being the simplest test case I
have on hand.

I have determined that the sha1 failures occur only if the NEON-enabled
SHA1 block function is interrupted by a signal. This explains why it
fails in git (which is using SIGALRM to set a "display progress" flag)
but not in standalone SHA1 tests; I believe openssl speed also uses
SIGALRM to time tests.
