Well world around us is much more complicated than it sometimes looks like :)

That's right __udivdi3() is not defined for some architectures but it is defined for
some others including ARC, Xtensa etc, see
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/ident/__udivdi3

What happens __udivdi3() is implemented in libgcc in one form or another form
be it pure assembly or generic implementation written in C.

So maybe we need to add export of __udivdi3() for other arches, what do you think?
