----------------------------------------------------------

Paul Querna had also started porting atomics to use the gcc builtins, and we should compare those two.

One issue is that we need to support gcc compiler versions which do not support this. In particular, RHEL4 still uses gcc 3.x, and we unfortunately have to support this for the time being at least. Paul had suggested incorporating some stuff from APR, and use the builtins when possible, and APR otherwise. We should coordinate these two efforts.
