--- Comment #3 from David Chisnall <theraven@FreeBSD.org> ---
Is there a reason, given that LLVM's atomic.c is in contrib, that we don't =
just
connect it to the libgcc_s build?

Note that the problem is not just 64-bit.  An increasing amount of x86-64 c=
ode
depends on 128-bit atomics (which are single instructions if compiling with
-mcx16, libcalls otherwise).  C11 allows arbitrary sized atomics.  It's all=
owed
to write _Atomic(struct X) for any arbitrary X.  The code in atomic.c handl=
es
this, though not for atomic types in shared memory (which can't be supported
without changing the ABI - something that WG21 thought through by making
std::atomic a library feature and allowing larger atomic types to be
implemented with an inline lock, and which WG14 completely messed up).
