In one of the various level0.* files.

In this case, hiremainder and overflow are defined in
src/kernel/none/level0.c, by way of including src/kernel/none/level0.h, with
the right set of #define.

It's a terrible mess. I started to rationalize this by removing the worst
hacks first (sparc). I'm not claiming the current situation is satisfactory.
All the more as it seems I've forgotten a case, and hiremainder may not be
defined [ cf Ilya's and Igor's bug reports ].

Also, sparcv8_super division is currently broken when cc = gcc, because it
accesses an irrelevant global 'hiremainder' variable, I'm working on it.
