It's the binary package from:
https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/trunk/2012.02/+download/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.02-20120222_linux.tar.bz2

I'm using Fedora here so cannot really use the Ubuntu package.
But I suspect it's pretty much the same?

Aha! That explains everything.

Yes I noticed those helpers in the past, that explains why
my kernel is still booting fine with the same compiler.

Well partly it does, for example it has __div64_32()
in lib/div64.c. But the above code does no explicit calls to
that function or the others, my rough guess could be that
the arithmetic is such that libgcc gets linked implicitly,
but what do I know about GCC ...

Yes probably.

The boot monitor on the Integrator (ARMv4 system) cannot
disassemble, but the memory looks like this:

boot Monitor > d 0x07fdecd4
Displaying memory at 0x7FDECD4
0x07FDECD4: 0xF0C04770
