No, it does not.

We made sure to link the module with  the  math  library  to  resolve
those references.

But we still get those  error  messages;  the  first  is  always  for
lshrdi3  -  which is linked with our module (but also provided by the
kernel - could there be any problems?), and then we get a  long  list
of errors for pack and unpack functions - whatever they are.
