Finding gcd is a bit over the top...

How about something like the following?

Cheers,
Peter

unsigned int wld_modulo( const unsigned int a, const Elf32_Word b )
{
#ifdef __ARM_EABI__
	unsigned int r = 0;
	int i;

	for (i = sizeof(a) * 8 - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
		r <<= 1;
		if (a & (1U << i))
			r |= 1;
		if (r > b)
			r -= b;
	}

	return r;
