Don't use __ARMEL__/__ARMEB__ in aarch64 assembly GCC's __ARMEL__ and __ARMEB__ defines denote little- and big-endian arm, respectively. They are not defined on aarch64, which instead use __AARCH64EL__ and __AARCH64EB__. However, OpenSSL's assembly originally used the 32-bit defines on both platforms and even define __ARMEL__ and __ARMEB__ in arm_arch.h. This is less portable and can even interfere with other headers, which use __ARMEL__ to detect little-endian arm. (Our own base.h believes __ARMEL__ implies 32-bit arm. We just happen to check __AARCH64EL__ first. base.h is probably also always included before arm_arch.h.) Over time, the aarch64 assembly has switched to the correct defines, such as in 32bbb62ea634239e7cb91d6450ba23517082bab6. This commit finishes the job. (There is an even more official endianness detector, __ARM_BIG_ENDIAN in the Arm C Language Extensions. But I've stuck with the GCC ones here as that would be a larger change.)

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.
Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.
Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.
BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.
Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
