Hi Kiyo,

Right. I am (partially) guilty. Usually, deleting optimization can solve this problem. Well, I will make another business trip (this time to west coast), and when I come back to Japan, I will turn my NetBSD system up and check it.
I don't think it's your fault. If anything, it's mine, since it seems to be happening in the area that I patched back in March. However, Dalibor's latest patch seems to be doing the job. We're awaiting Riccardo's findings.
Seems to work, the compilation goes on without a hitch, but breaks later for another reason. I'll check my patch in.
The patch is a straight rip off out of GNU libc (LGPL licensed, so it's GPL compatible), which has atomicity primitives for a number of platforms. It may be a good place to look at for other platforms as well.
In the long run (say a few weeks), I'd like to rip out the COMPARE_AND_EXCHANGE macro completely, and replace it by the inlined functions from libc, if they prove to work.
cheers dalibor topic
