Why is this necessary?  IIRC the mainline kernel is geared towards
gcc-2.95.2, and although the 2.95.x series isn't stable for the SH, 3.x
isn't all that better (it's stable but there are still a lot of unpatched
bugs).  Are you relying on the fact that people are only going to build the
kernel with kaz's patched gcc?  AFAIK -mno-fdiv-divsi isn't in gcc CVS and
it definitely wasn't in gcc 3.0, so it seems like you're "migrating" to gcc
CVS + kaz's patches - hopefully everyone's aware of this.
