It crashes also for me inside kvm.
The key point seems be advertised CPU, not architecture.
The patch bellow suffices for me to pass whole testsuite.

The upstream should read their own comments in source code ;-)
A few lines before that is:

/* NOTE: In a fat binary build SQR_TOOM2_THRESHOLD here cannot be more than the
   value in mpn/x86/p6/gmp-mparam.h.  The latter is used as a hard limit in
   mpn/x86/p6/sqr_basecase.asm.  */

Guess what value is currently in mpn/x86/p6/gmp-mparam.h ;-)
