Right, it is the explicit 64 bit divide calls - maybe this one has the wrong
types getting passed in. If someone could do a make -k and send me all the
errors I will do some type checking on the ones which broke. 

But as Andi points out, there was some other code which did not get compiled
correctly with gcc 2.95 anyway, a shift operation somewhere I think.
