from where comes "__moddi3"?

again, probably displaying my abject ignorance, but i wrote a
trivial module that tries to "var % 15", and i get:

WARNING: "__moddi3" undefined!

and, not surprisingly, when i try to insmod:

insmod: error inserting 'seq.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

(using 16 rather than 15 works fine, as i assume that the modulus
call is simply replaced by an optimized bitwise comparison.)

so ... from where comes __moddi3? i know there are places in the
kernel source tree that do non-power-of-2 moduli, and they work fine,
no? thanks.
