Or rewrite the driver to use jiffies properly.  wait it's propritary software..

This gets a little offtopic for the gcc ml, though.

Fact is: the Linux kernel is _not_ linked against libgcc, and there are valid
reasons not to do so.  If a propirtary module assumes being able do do any
kind of dvisions / modulo operations on 64bit integers it's your problem, not
the kernels or gccs, especially if there is a perfectly working free alternative.

P.S. the linux kernel has a nice do_div macro for 64bit through 32bit division..
