Never mind; on more than 60 seconds' reading, I notice that it *does* have 128-bit support (just disabled for code size reasons), and, as a verbatim import, hacking on it would make merges with upstream more difficult. Still, maybe It can be used for factoring. A lot of embedded devices want TLS support, so it's "free" in such cases.
