It's better to copy the bits of libgcc that you actually need
than to include the whole thing. The kernel is in a weird
state that is neither freestanding nor the normal libc based
environment, so we generally want full control over what is
used. This is particularly important for 32-bit architectures
that do not want the 64-bit division, but there are probably
enough other cases as well.
