Thank you for the input.

I encounter this exact issue when I did an experiment for DHKEM(X25519,
HKDF-SHA256).  Currently, it computes public key from secret key.

My experiment is here:

    https://dev.gnupg.org/source/libgcrypt/history/gniibe%252Fkem2/

This is the branch on top of master.

Last month, I created the gniibe/kem branch on top of 1.10 branch.  I
need HKDF function for the DHKEM, so, I did again on top of master.
