The tests math/atest-*.c convert hex strings to multiple-precision numbers 
by using strchr to get a value for the hex digit (as type ptrdiff_t) and 
then shifting appropriately.  This doesn't work if ptrdiff_t is narrower 
than mp_limb_t (as on MIPS64 N32); the value should be cast to mp_limb_t 
before shifting.
