GCC wanted to make a compare on a 8byte integer (so probably long long),
but decided there isn't an appropriate insn on that hardware platform.
So instead of emitting assembler, it generated a function call that
would have resulted in a call to libgcc. However, the Linux kernel asks
to *not* link that lib (eg. think about a gcc compiled for i686 (so is
libgcc) while compiling for i386).
With the that constraint in mind, there isn't really a "nice" solution.
Maybe Linux should provide a function of that name (and several others,
too). OTOH, the H8/300 port explicitely links in libgcc, but that's only
an option if even the oldest processor supports *all* known CPU
instructions.
