Unfortunately I think you're approach won't work due to the alignment requirements placed on ldcw? It has to be 16-byte aligned according to the architecture docs. I was looking into the kde4libs issue, and I think the solution is to copy atomic.h from glibc and use that interface. http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/bits/atomic.h?rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=glibc This obviously only works when we have the linux kernel helper routines. (better yet would be to put atomic.h into gcc, implement the atomic builtins with that, and then propgate the use of the atomic builtins to glibc and other software that needs it).
