It detects as a core2 in gmp-4.2.4, so that agrees with what I found
timing wise.

I'm a little surprised that the old magma version on sage.math is
beating us at integer multiplication, and from a very early point
(WELL before the FFT range). Surely it was linked against a static gmp
for amd64 with Pierrick Gaudry's patches. So I don't understand quite
how it can beat us.

When I try building MPIR with the amd64 patches, it is certainly not better.
