Ok I see. I'm not a GCC guru, but my sparc-linux- toolchain (built with crosstool-ng) has a libgcc.a in lib/gcc/sparc-leon-linux-gnu/4.4.2 which includes the .mul/.div functions. I guess that is not
the sparc-linux target but sparc-leon-linux though. Could we use 'sparc-linux-gcc -print-libgcc-file-name' in u-boot?
