Also note that ICC <= 11.0 did not handle __GNUC__ inline asm
correctly, see the comment:

  Modules/_decimal/libmpdec/umodarith.h:391

I've disabled asm for Linux/ICC in setup.py.


I don't know how the situation is with MASM inline asm, but I'd
recommend to test at least a couple of exact multiplications
and divisions with operands of about 100000 digits (the asm is
only used for bignums).

There is already one bignum test in test_decimal that *should*
catch any oddities, but testing a bit more can't hurt.
