 Bringing two things in arrangement can be solved by changing either of the
 two things. My vote would be on changing `list(GF(q, impl="givaro"))`
 since it's implementation-dependent:
 {{{
 sage: list(GF(8, 'a', impl="givaro"))
 [0, a, a^2, a + 1, a^2 + a, a^2 + a + 1, a^2 + 1, 1]
 sage: list(GF(8, 'a', impl="ntl"))
 [0, 1, a, a + 1, a^2, a^2 + 1, a^2 + a, a^2 + a + 1]
 }}}
 {{{
 sage: list(GF(13, 'a', impl="givaro"))
 [0, 2, 4, 8, 3, 6, 12, 11, 9, 5, 10, 7, 1]
 sage: list(GF(13, 'a', impl="modn"))
 [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
 }}}
