Internal implementation.  Everything falls into pieces if __divsf3
from libgcc.a is used, due to it's "efficient" design.

Writing it externally takes about four instructions more space.

See bug report #14855.  It is a fundamental mistake to try replace
functions that belong into libgcc.a by private hacks, and it is even
more fatal to hack them together with other function entry points in
the same file just to save a single call instruction.

All those __divsf3 etc. stuff belongs into libgcc.a.
