If GCC winds up having to fix the bug in the compiler itself for PPC,

an integer divide and not a modulo?  I suppose you could just say the
result is undefined and patch up the quotient too.


exactly!
And if you want this undefined operation to do something defined, you
can start another one of those long threads :-)
