Can these patches be obtained?
Possibly -- would you be interested in extracting them and sending
them upstream [1]? They are usually very responsive, and I monitor
the list and can pull from there when they make it in.
I don't like carrying patches not reviewed by upstream, because with
this sort of code it is way too easy to make mistakes and break the
semantics. It's much better if everyone takes a look at new
implementations first.
Should libatomic-ops be built out of libgc source now that it's
maintained in libgc upstream?
They're maintained as separate projects, although out of the same
source tree. I think it's probably better that libgc ships with its
version and keeps that in sync, and for people that just want the
atomic-ops library they can use this package.
