Indeed. There is a commit for avoiding 64-bit division.

      x86/PCI: remove 64-bit division
  
      The roundup() caused a build error (undefined reference to `__udivdi3').
      We're aligning to power-of-two boundaries, so it's simpler to just use
      ALIGN() anyway, which avoids the division.

It seems that the code itself has not changed between 2.6.36 and 2.6.37-rc1

  static int elf_core_dump(struct coredump_params *cprm)
  {
  (...snipped...)
  	loff_t offset = 0, dataoff, foffset;
  (...snipped...)
  	dataoff = offset = roundup(offset, ELF_EXEC_PAGESIZE);

but the definition of roundup() has changed by

      kernel: roundup should only reference arguments once
  
      Currently the roundup macro references it's arguments more than one time.
      This patch changes it so it will only use its arguments once.

between 2.6.36 and 2.6.37-rc1.
