That seems like a good way of handling it. As archs add their
implementations, they can just add the symlink and do no more work. It
will also make review slightly easier: if I don't see the symlink added,
I'll know the submitter didn't actually test their chacha :-P.

I'll take this into my random.git tree now as a fix.
