I believe the comment in the macro interferes with
the perl regex.

        #if SKEIN_UNROLL_256 == 0
        #define R256(p0, p1, p2, p3, ROT, r_num) /* fully unrolled */ \
        do {                                                          \
        	ROUND256(p0, p1, p2, p3, ROT, r_num);                 \
        } while (0)

With the latest version in -next I get:
