In most cross-compilers, there is assembly code for those helper
functions. In EGCS, those are in config/h8300/lib1funcs.asm.

It calls __divhi3, which is defined in config/h8300/lib1funcs.asm. I
built egcs-1.1.1 without any changes (that I remember :), and it put
those in libgcc1.a, which then gets merged into libgcc.a. In addition
to the 16-bit routines your example uses, it also has 32-bit multiply and
divide functions (__mulsi3, etc). I don't have it still around, but I am
pretty sure egcs-1.1a also properly handled this. I have not ever built
gcc 2.8 or egcs-1.1 as a cross compiler for the H8, so if you are using
one of those it may not have the helper functions.
Did you configure it as a cross compiler (setting --target h8300-hitachi-hms
and --host to whatever your host platform is)?
