Bugfix
* Fix a long-standing build failure when building x86 PIC code with old
gcc (4.x). The code will be slower, but will compile. We do however
recommend upgrading to a more recent compiler instead. Fixes #1910.

/*
* GCC < 5.0 treated the x86 ebx (which is used for the GOT) as a
* fixed reserved register when building as PIC, leading to errors
* like: bn_mul.h:46:13: error: PIC register clobbered by 'ebx' in 'asm'
*
* 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.
