BTW, implementation for all atomics in arch-ppc.h would be too invasive and
shouldn't be considered for v10.
However, I made following workaround: declare pg_atomic_uint32 and
pg_atomic_fetch_mask_add_u32_impl() only when we know that generic-gcc.h
would declare gcc-based atomics.
Could you, please, check it on Apple PPC?
