I'd first like to understand why Paul chose to override the generic
versions of these macros. There is a change in what you map to:

__sync_val_compare_and_swap ->  __sync_val_compare_and_swap_1/2/4/8

__sync_add_and_fetch ->  __sync_add_and_fetch_1/2/4/8

Were there any problems with the _N variants on some ARM compilers ?

The non-"_N" variants do not exist outside the back-end (they are mapped to the "_N" variants by target-independent parts of the compiler), but I agree that Paul's ack is good to have.
