Anton, you might know: why is subtraction of two uint64_t's needing
floating point?  We've got something like this in e1000 that emits the
above warning:

uint64_t n, m
uint32_t diff;

[...]

diff = n - m;

(Not expecting (n - m) to overflow uint32_t).

Changing diff to uint64_t gives unresolved symbol __udivdi3.

gcc version 2.95.3.
