This improves gcd performance by about 300%
I assume this patch is still valid, if not I could come up with a new 
one.
Thanks!

Issue #481 has been updated by Yuki Sonoda.

Category set to lib
Status changed from Open to Rejected

I think embedding of Rational already made same result. It internally 
uses long type of C for Fixnums.

This patch may be still meaningful for 1.8. But extension of Fixnum 
needs discussion.
