I confess I never figured out how we get from SvREFCNT_inc to
__ATOMIC_INCREMENT_LONG; after following the trail through three or
four #defines I gave up and just did what the compiler told me to do.
So, it's possible the various configure options will pull in an
appropriate alternative on other OS/compiler/processor combinations,
but I don't know that for sure.
