This is an error in pplus1_factor, which is not used from any public function. However it is an indicator that something is going wrong with the clz code on these machines. The trivial fix would be to revert the change to clz in this function, but I'd like to understand what is happening. If these builds are using gcc, why is __builtin_clzll / __buildint_clz acting differently?

Subject: unsigned long != UV problem
Fixed on github. Replicated using AIX Power7, where unsigned long is 32-bit and perl is built with 64-bit. With 32-bit perl (the default system Perl as well as default building 5.19.7 from source), everything worked fine. When built as 64-bit, the problem occurs. Fixed by changing the exponent and mask to UV type.
