On macOS there is a MIN macro already defined in the system headers, resulting in the following error:

      CC sha256/block/sha256.o
  sha256/block/sha256.c:133:9: error: 'MIN' macro redefined [-Werror,-Wmacro-redefined]
  #define MIN(x, y) ((x) < (y) ? (x) : (y))
          ^
  /usr/include/sys/param.h:215:9: note: previous definition is here
  #define MIN(a,b) (((a)<(b))?(a):(b))
          ^
  1 error generated.
  make: *** [sha256/block/sha256.o] Error 1

A simple "#undef MIN" solves this issue. However, I wonder whether we should #undef the other #define directives as well, just to be sure (and perhaps overly cautious).

Some GCC versions (e.g. gcc-4.8 with -O2 -Wall -Werror) complain about the above line:

      CC sha256/block/sha256.o
  sha256/block/sha256.c: In function ‘blk_SHA256_Final’:
  sha256/block/sha256.c:174:2: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing]
    put_be64(ctx->buf + trip, ctx->length);
    ^
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
  make: *** [sha256/block/sha256.o] Error 1

Something like this makes it compile:

  void *ptr = ctx->buf + trip;
  put_be64(ptr, ctx->length);

However, it's not immediately obvious to me why the compiler complains, or why that intermediate void* variable makes any difference, but now it's not the time to put on my language lawyer hat.

Perhaps an old compiler bug? Clang in general, newer GCC versions, or gcc-4.8 with -Wall -Werror but without -O2 don't seem to be affected.
