Looking for something similar, some time ago, I figure out that Paul released
some interesting hp lib stuff in gcc snapshot (the futur 3.4) into gcc/config/pa
 as milli64.S (optimized div, mul, ....), ... (my last cvs update was dated
of dec 2003 and it seems that this feature was dated of Aug 2003 so I trust
that last debian package gcc-snapshot should also contain this material)

I just don't yet reach to rebuild it (gcc-snapshot) following toolchain process
(but I don't much retry because of gnu pserver cvs pb; in the mean time I
read that new anonymous access would be with ssh, even though last weekend
it was not yet operational?) because I much work on 3.3.3.

hth,
    Joel
