- Update to GMP 6.0.0 release.
* includes powerpc64le support and obsoletes
gmp-support-powerpc64le-linux.patch and gmp-ppc64le-mod.patch
* The function mpz_invert now considers any number invertible in Z/1Z
* The mpn multiply code now handles operands of more than 2^31 limbs
correctly
* Plain division of large operands is faster and more monotonous in
operand size
* Major speedup for ARM, in particular ARM Cortex-A15, thanks to improved
assembly.
* Speedup for Intel Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, thanks to rewritten
and vastly expanded assembly support. Speedup also for the older Core 2
and Nehalem.
* Faster mixed arithmetic between mpq_class and double.
* With g++, optimise more operations when one argument is a simple
constant.
* Support for ARM64 alias Aarch64 alias ARMv8.
* New public functions mpn_sec_mul and mpn_sec_sqr, implementing
side-channel
silent multiplication and squaring.
* New public functions mpn_sec_div_qr and mpn_sec_div_r, implementing
side-channel silent division.
* New public functions mpn_cnd_add_n and mpn_cnd_sub_n. Side-channel
silent conditional addition and subtraction.
* New public function mpn_sec_powm, implementing side-channel silent
modexp.
* New public function mpn_sec_invert, implementing side-channel silent
modular inversion.
* Better support for applications which use the mpz_t type, but
nevertheless need to call some of the lower-level mpn functions. See
