yes, it happens because the arm code is incomplete and bogus. I did the 
arm64 code first and then ported it to arm. This function uses arm64 
specific instructions and thus needed a port to arm. The arm version 
misses several computation steps. I guess I trusted the results of the
unit tests and didn't looked at gf_unit output on arm.

I'll send a fix tomorrow.
