Tutorial 5 - gcd, with tail call optimization

Builds and compiles the following function:

unsigned int gcd(unsigned int x, unsigned int y)
{
    if(x == y)
    {
        return x;
    }
    else if(x < y)
    {
        return gcd(x, y - x);
    }
    else
    {
        return gcd(x - y, y);
    }
}
