this code pessimization bug should be submitted to the gcc devels and then the
issue number added as comment to the code so it can be removed once gcc
has been fixed instead of becoming another piece of accumulated cruft

that said i suspect that all uses of this macro can be implemenetd more
efficiently by multiplying by the inverse shifting down to get the /
and then doing a multiply and subtract for the %
