What about using GCC atomic builtins like in the attached patch?

If correct (seems so, but I did no test it beyond building it - are
there tests for this in LibO?) it has the advantage of covering more
than ARM, and for ARM letting gcc emit optimal (I hope) code by
taking care of differences between atomic exchange primitives on ARM pre
v6 (SWP) and newer (STREX/LDREX) and memory barrier instructions
(DMB vs MCR ....). Debian still builds for armv5 while Ubuntu for armv7
so there would have been at least some ifdefs if assembly were used.

IMHO it is better to stick to portable C/C++ if it does not constitute a
drawback otherwise :)
