libgcc routines are self-complete.  And on a bunch of architectures
Linux kernel is linked with libgcc.a, e.g. sh{,64}, xtensa, pa, cris,
h8300, m32r.  If you do nm on i386 libgcc.a, you'll see:
...
_divdi3.o:
0000000000000000 T __divdi3

_moddi3.o:
0000000000000000 T __moddi3

_udivdi3.o:
0000000000000000 T __udivdi3

_umoddi3.o:
0000000000000000 T __umoddi3

...
i.e. all these routines don't need anything else.
