If I look for "strcpy" there is a file in libc/machine/sh and one in
libc/string as mentioned by you. But if I look at "divhi3" there is only one
in machine/h8500 and not one in libc. Why ?

There are difference around sh series hitachi microprocessor.  For example
SH1 have no dword mac. SH2 have dword mac. SH4 have hardware fp. I see that
libc/machine/sh files must support all the SH series. I can't test all
platform because I have only SH2 7045F model :-(          Any suggestion ?

I have tryed to compile this simple function with gcc-2.95.2 for SH:

int qem_main()
{
 volatile long a,b,c,d,e,f;
      b = a/b;

      return 0;
}

I see in dissasembler file thar the compiler use the "___sdivsi3" function.
Where this funtion is ? Is buided into compiler or is part of newlib ?

Thank you
