The i128 multiplication gets turned into a libcall
(a call into the gcc library).  This results in a
function call that returns i128.  That this does
not work on x86-32 is PR2660.  It most likely still
will not work once PR2660 is fixed, because the gcc
library for x86-32 does not currently support 128 bit
multiplications.  This is one of the limitations of
codegen of arbitrary precision integers: it relies
on external libraries which do not support arbitrarily
large sizes.
