OK... I'm able to "fix" the build with:

diff --git a/include/asm-generic/div64.h b/include/asm-generic/div64.h
index 163f77999e..d246c4c801 100644
--- a/include/asm-generic/div64.h
+++ b/include/asm-generic/div64.h
@@ -206,7 +206,7 @@ extern uint32_t __div64_32(uint64_t *dividend, uint32_t divisor);
 	uint32_t __rem;					\
 	(void)(((typeof((n)) *)0) == ((uint64_t *)0));	\
 	if (__builtin_constant_p(__base) &&		\
-	    is_power_of_2(__base)) {			\
+	    is_power_of_2(__base) && __base != 0) {	\
 		__rem = (n) & (__base - 1);		\
 		(n) >>= ilog2(__base);			\
 	} else if (__div64_const32_is_OK &&		\

What doesn't make sense to me is the fact that is_power_of_2() is 
defined as:

static inline __attribute__((const))
bool is_power_of_2(unsigned long n)
{
        return (n != 0 && ((n & (n - 1)) == 0));
}

So the test for zero is already in there.

And adding BUILD_BUG_ON(__builtin_constant_p(__base) && __base == 0) 
before the if doesn't trig either.

Confused.
