I've been tracking down when "umulditi3" support was added to various
gcc platforms.  So far, I've found:

ia64: 2005-07-28, gcc 4.1.0
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revision&revision=102463

mips: 2008-06-09, gcc 4.4.0
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revision&revision=136600 

alpha: 2013-02-01, gcc 4.8.0
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revision&revision=195668

s390: 2011-10-07, gcc 4.7.0
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revision&revision=179647

ppc64: 2013-02-01, gcc 4.8.0
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revision&revision=195667


Here's a revised s390 patch.

Subject: [PATCH v2] s390: Enable CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128 on 64-bit builds

If a platform supports a 64x64->128-bit widening multiply,
that allows more efficient scaling of 64-bit values in various
parts of the kernel.  GCC advertises __int128 support with the
__INT128__ #define, but we care about efficient inline
support, so this is a separate flag.

For s390, that was added on 2011-10-07 by
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revision&revision=179647
which is part of GCC 4.7.
