Cross compiling for ARM: incorrect fx_r_type (8) for fx_subsy != 0

[Daniel Ringwalt]

Line 32 of mpn/arm/invert_limb.asm seemed to be causing the problem:

    add r2, pc, #invtab-.-8

I removed it and everything else built. However I'm not sure how to go
about testing "inverting a normalized limb". I was originally hoping
to cross compile ECL for the iPhone but it seems to have its own
problems in cross compiling.
