[and you say later that this is the only test that fails]
Two things you could try:
- download a recent snapshort from the developers' corner on the
   website, in case something was fixed since then (I don't remember
   anything specific)
- use gcc, the most likely explanation is a compiler bug

Note that if your main goal is to use mpfr, mpfr does not use
mpz_bin_uiui, so you may hope that only this function is miscompiled and
mpfr is not affected.

At least it seems to be using a 32 bit abi.
