GMP changes

[Robert Gries]

I guess I do not know how to release for a new platfom: pa6t (Pasemi new part).
These changes are about a 25% improvemnet for our part. If these changes could be release for our part it would be useful.
thanks r gries

What do these changes do?  I see no comments at all.

The code is larger that in gmp 4.2.2, but if the cycle numbers are
accurate, all functions ran at the same speed.
