Just a quick update on this:

Apparently only the SVN version of glib supports atomic ops on ARM, so
you'd have to take a look in SVN.

Also, if the atomic ops are emulated by libatomic_ops with mutexes
(the way they are right now on your machine) they are not safe for
usage in shared memory, and thus PA on archs unsupported by
libatomic_ops *IS PLAIN BROKEN*.
