[Bug c/32494] gcc-4.3.x _32-bit_ becoming irrelevant to kernel

As I am clearly rejected by the GCC insiders in my attempts to help make the C
compiler more attuned to the spirit of the C99 committee; I am now forced to
alert the user community of what is happening with a near monopoly. 

And why is a GCC maintainer, with priveledged access to GCC's bugzilla, and
hence a spokesperson for the GCC community claiming again and again on GCC's
bugzilla that Mr Linus Torvalds is wrong, instead of having the guts to
confront Mr torvalds directly.  I do not work for Mr Torvalds nor am I part of
the the kernel community to deliver an inane message to somebody of the stature
of Mr Torvalds. Actually it is evidently clear that Mr Linus Torvalds and Mr
Andrew Morton do not need my help. I am actually pursuing this on my own as
part of a larger picture.

As an outsider GCC's bugzilla is the equivalent to the leads of the good old EE
black box. You use use the tools available. 

The bugzilla.kernel.org thread started by myself is 8501. It was my ignorance
at the time that led to a poor title. Actually the linux-kernel had for many
years the udivdi3 algorithm. Udivdi3 originally came from BSD. Udividi3 was
removed, under some controversy, from kernel-2.6.x. There must have been a good
reason, which I as an outsider ignore. However having examined the algorithm in
libgcc  I thorougly applaud the removal. I would never use udivdi3 in a real
time executive and I, as a project engineer,  would fire for cause some
programmer  , who slipped it in against my edict and made it hidden from ldd to
avoid detection. Again I am not speaking for Mr. Torvalds.
