I particularly think it's a really bad idea to have a complex and potentially race-condition-prone bit of infrastructure implemented three different ways rather than having one implementation used everywhere -- it's just asking for obscure bugs on the non-x86 hosts. Really it just breaks the general rule I prefer to follow that you should write your code in the 'mainstream' of an API/platform; if you head too close to the shallows you're liable to hit a rock. -- PMM
