SubjectRe: 2.3.51: NFSv3 uses multiplication with u64
   Date:   Tue, 14 Mar 2000 16:31:10 -0400
From: Horst von Brand <vonbrand@pincoya.inf.utfsm.cl>

The build of the kernel on SPARC fails when linking due to use of _muldi3
in nfs3svc_encode_fsstatres (file fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c):

We are working on fixing this, fatfs builds provoke it too.
The fix is to add an implementation __muldi3 from libgcc.a into
arch/sparc/lib/muldi3.S

Multiplying u64's on any architecture is perfectly legal to do.
Don't change generic code to eliminate it, we'll fix Sparc.

Later,
