Hi Richard, As you've recommended, this issue has now been filed in bugzilla as PR other/113336. As explained in the new PR, libatomic's testsuite used to pass on armv6 (raspberry pi) in previous GCC releases, but the code was incorrect/non-synchronous; this was reported as PR target/107567 and PR target/109166. Now that those issues have been fixed, we now see that there's a missing dependency in libatomic that's required to implement this functionality correctly.
I'm more convinced that my fix is correct, but it's perhaps a little disappointing that libatomic doesn't have a (multi-threaded) run-time test to search for race conditions, and confirm its implementations are correctly serializing. Please let me know what you think.
