+define Package/librespeed-cli-rust/description
+ LibreSpeed client for measuring internet speed from command line.
+
+ This is a Rust port of librespeed/speedtest-cli. The original is written
+ in Go, whose toolchain targets only ppc64 and ppc64le, so librespeed-cli
+ is unavailable on 32-bit PowerPC devices. Both packages install
+ /usr/bin/librespeed-cli, hence the conflict.
+endef
+
+# rustls' default crypto backend, ring, does build here, but it has no assembly
+# for big-endian PowerPC and falls back to its portable C: on mpc85xx its
+# AES-GCM measured under half of libopenssl's throughput. libopenssl is in the
+# image anyway, so linking against it is both faster and one TLS stack fewer.
