Bug Description

GCC's standard CPU configuration for the Cortex R4F does not enable hardware support for integer division although ARM's Cortex R Programmer's Guide clearly states that the R4F does indeed have hardware support for integer division.
For the Cortex R5, integer division is enabled by default.

Quoting from gcc/arm/arm-cpus.in:

begin cpu cortex-r4f
 architecture armv7-r+fp
end cpu cortex-r4f

begin cpu cortex-r5
 architecture armv7-r+idiv+fp
end cpu cortex-r5

Is there a special reason for this behavior?
