* Problems with hp-parisc2-cc target when used with "no-asm" flag
When using the hp-parisc2-cc target, wrong bignum code is generated.
This is due to the SIXTY_FOUR_BIT build being compiled with the +O3
aggressive optimization.
The problem manifests itself by the BN_kronecker test hanging in an
endless loop. Reason: the BN_kronecker test calls BN_generate_prime()
which itself hangs. The reason could be tracked down to the bn_mul_comba8()
function in bn_asm.c. At some occasions the higher 32bit value of r[7]
is off by 1 (meaning: calculated=shouldbe+1). Further analysis failed,
as no debugger support possible at +O3 and additional fprintf()'s
introduced fixed the bug, therefore it is most likely a bug in the
optimizer.
The bug was found in the BN_kronecker test but may also lead to
failures in other parts of the code.
(See Ticket #426.)
Workaround: modify the target to +O2 when building with no-asm.
