This doesn't work for tcc/x86, because in this configuration the compiler does
not know about the 'mfence' instruction.


2021-03-03  Bruno Haible  <br...@clisp.org>

        asyncsafe-spin, simple-atomic: Add support for tcc/x86.
        * lib/asyncsafe-spin.c (memory_barrier): With tcc/x86, don't use the
        'mfence' instruction.
        * lib/simple-atomic.c (memory_barrier): Likewise.
