You still get to 'accidentally' do 64-bit arithmetic in-kernel that way
though. Might be better just to provide __ucmpdi2, just as we have for
the other functions which are required from libgcc

It'd be better just to fix the compiler though -- which is in fact what
they've done: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25724
              http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21237

I've applied this as a temporary hack to the Fedora kernel until the
compiler is updated there...
Hello,

We're hitting this i nouveau as well (http://nouveau.freedesktop.org),
since we make extensive use ot 64 bit ints. Over time, we've had a
number of reports on this issue, and at one point I read that it
should be fixed in gcc. But recently, a nouveau user on PPC32 (Henrik
in CC:) reported the issue again with gcc 4.2.3. Others have it on gcc
4.2.2 too:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10547

So, the point of this email is to ask about the possibility of merging
in one of the __ucmpdi2 patches, like David's which is kept below for
reference. Most distros seem to ship with such a patch already, and it
seems that other drivers hit this as well.

Thanks,
Stephane
