 It might be that he will need access to silius to investigate and possible
 fix the problem.


 I'll also take a closer look at the asm code; it's probably just
 incompatible to the ppc64 ABI when linked dynamically.  Even `mulredc1()`,
 which only uses registers (besides storing the result into the `mp_limb_t`
 whose address is passed), segfaults.  (Or probably the calling function
 segfaults immediately after return).
