  This was previously sent to gmp-bugs along with full output from make
  check + config.log
  gnu/guile seems to use your package, and also fails a similar "make
  check" test.
  Thanks,

This is almost surely a compiler bug.  Of all miscompiled pieces
of GMP, mul_fft.c is the one that is the most common victim.

You didn't (and still don't) supply the information we ask for in the
manual chapter on how to report bugs.  Good bug reports are more
likely to get answers than poor ones.
