 > ebx was recently added to the x86 inline asm MULADDC_STOP clobber list to
 > fix #1550, but this causes the build to fail with GCC < 5 when building in
 > PIC mode with errors like:

 > include/mbedtls/bn_mul.h:46:13: error: PIC register clobbered by ‘ebx’ in ‘asm’

 > This is because older GCC versions treated the x86 ebx register (which is
 > used for the GOT) as a fixed reserved register when building as PIC.

 > This is fixed by an improved register allocator in GCC 5+.  From the release
 > notes:

 > Register allocation improvements: Reuse of the PIC hard register, instead of
 > using a fixed register, was implemented on x86/x86-64 targets.  This
 > improves generated PIC code performance as more hard registers can be used.

 > As a workaround, add a patch to detect this situation and disable the inline
 > assembly, similar to the MULADDC_CANNOT_USE_R7 logic.

Committed, thanks.
