There is no reason why you have to use the default gcc to build traffic
server for those platforms. Newer
version of gcc will still work on old versions of the OS. Is there any
problem with requiring newer gcc
package to compile the way we require other external libraries?

Bryan Call commented on TS-42:
------------------------------
We still need a way to handle atomic operations for 64bit OSes that don't have
a modern gcc.
We have the option of using the linux, glib, or apr atomic functions. However,
I didn't see that any of them support 64bit atomic operations.
