You must drop left shift of this line too.

		if (bcode == (BRK_DIVZERO << 10))


Note that there has been some confusion about break codes in gas over the years. Ancient versions (I am not sure which) generated different break codes than recent versions.

Before changing it make sure that you don't break existing user space code.

One problem (fixed around 2.4.25 or so) was the integer division by zero in user space would result in SIGTRAP instead of SIGFPE. If you change the break code handling you should verify that you don't break this.
