Hi,

Thanks for your help with this.

Yes, this is indeed the culprit. If `div64_s64` works the same way, I
wonder if the best option is to change the macro definition.

I can provide a patch for this along with changing the rest of the
definitions. However i would like some confirmation before starting
this.
