OK.

It's extremely hard to write this stuff in portable C.  I can't tell
for sure if your code is correct.  It looks reasonable enough.

Seems very unlikley.

What would be really helpful would be if you could capture what was
passed to montgomeryMultiply when the test case fails.

You can perhaps print out all arguments as a string of hex digits
inside montgomeryMultiply. Then we can debug it.

The real error might be much higher up, though: perhaps some problem
with the way the builtin is expanded.

I already said that in an earlier message.  Needs to clobber "cc".

Andrew.
