I presume you've read the long thread starting at <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-08/msg00199.html> regarding the issues involved in implementing the atomics (involving compiler and libc cooperation to provide stdatomic.h), and in particular ensuring that code built for one CPU remains safe on later CPU variants that may have more native atomic operations. -- Joseph S.
