Where's ".div" implemented?

[Doug Evans <dje at transmeta dot com>]

.div is in gcc/config/sparc/lb1spc.asm in the gcc sources.

I'm guessing no one's tried running linux on an old v7 machine
because the linux configurations don't include lb1spc.asm in libgcc.a.
[not surprising]

If you configure for sparc-elf then you'll get a libgcc.a that has .div.
There's a few other configurations that will get you .div,
but sparc-elf is, I think, the canonical one for doing embedded
sparc programs with elf.
