IMHO, it's better to disable selection of best onetimeauth implementation in libsodium. Otherwise, dnscrypt-proxy (or other software) will start ~20 seconds even on RT-N66U:

admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/mnt/SDCARD/tmp# time dnscrypt-proxy --help > /dev/null
21.63user 0.37system 0:22.00elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+0minor)pagefaults 0swaps

All those 20 seconds CPU will be loaded up to 100%.

This is not required any more since libsodium 0.5.0.

@ryzhov_al: can you confirm? I was not able to compile dnscrypt-proxy. I never noticed this delay for my application, maybe because was using 0.5.0 before.

Yes, @clarajcrandell is right, this patch is not needed for new libsodium version.

PS Take a look at pull-request.

Yes, I noticed. Thanks.

Anyway, regarding dnscrypt-proxy - I noticed that there is a wiki entry: http://wiki.openwrt.org/inbox/dnscrypt
It may need some updating regarding dnscrypt-proxy. Well, it depends on how up to date your package is.

A libsodium package is now part of the OpenWrt package feed.

The discussion might have continued from here.
