Sure. Again. It's sounds like time much better spend if you solve this
atomic ops problems for all users of it (and believe me there are a
number, especially outside of the 'core' system. PulseAudio for example
being one which hwoever has ugly fallbacks to libatomic_ops, which are
much slower and uglier, and pull in a dep).

Well, I am pretty sure the Gentoo SPARC people will have people who work
on the toolchain (I am mean, if they have the task of porting an OS to
an exotic/new arch, then they better have), and instead I am sure they
will acknowledge that fixing this with one gcc patch for everybody
instead of many patches for just one user would be much better and in
total less work.

Thanks,

Lennart
