Yes exactly... I think libatomic_ops can help with that and I have built it from git on Sparc v8 (This flag is required  -DAO_NO_SPARC_V9). But I 
am not sure how to implement __sync_sub_and_fetch with it. Details on getting it to build here: https://github.com/ivmai/libatomic_ops/issues/9

 
I can give a systemd developer access to a box to fix this on if someone 
wants to give it a shot. I believe the reason GCC doesn't provide an 
implementation there are some pretty huge trade offs to be made with 
either performance or functionality.
