I have compared your mul_1 and the one which is shipped with 4.2, and the
latter is faster, so I didn't include yours. But if I remember well you
had also coded the popcount or some function of this sort. I should
include it. 
I am also considering the inclusion of divrem_[12].s functions written by
Timothy Jacobson, but for the moment I still have a few problems to make
them work properly on my system. Once these are solved, this should give a
nice speed-up to gmpbench, I guess.

All the best,
Pierrick.
