The long division warnings can compiler specific, and depend on certain
optimization options, as compilers can optimize out certain divisions and
replace them with multiplications and/or shifts, or prove that they can be
replaced with a 32-bit division. If this is a case that gcc manages to
optimize but clang does not, it might be worth looking into whether an
optimization can be added to clang, in addition to improving the source.
