Hi,
One significant case is where atomic operations are available with kernel
help. SH GNU/Linux provides __sync_* in libgcc and there is an unreviewed
patch to do the same for ARM GNU/Linux; both use kernel help in those

Hi,
1- Try to re-organize the new code in order to make possible using in
*few* selected places _GLIBCXX_ATOMIC_BUILTINS_4 to enable / disable
the new feature completely.
The necessary code changes for this are in the attached patch. Most of
the code doesn't need to be touched, because the adde

Yes, but again, I have to remind you that the problem is with *any*
target or subtarget not implementing the atomic builtins.

Even if we do that, we'll still get errors if someone forces i386. And
the people doing that are more likely to want to link against the
standalone libsupc++, too, since i386 is mostly used in embedded systems

What macro do I switch on? _GLIBCXX_ATOMIC_BUILTINS_4?
Yes, should be safe for static switching. I think you should consider
