 This will work around FreeBSD's current implementation in particular,
 but I don't think there's anything in the C11 spec that mandates that
 atomic_fetch_add() and friends have to be macros and not simply

At some point but I suspect not right now.

So what's the conclusion for this patch? Are people happy with it as a
sticking plaster I can apply to the bounced testing PR?

Oh yes, so it would. I think I was also vaguely thinking in terms
of FreeBSD being the leading edge of "one day most or all of our
hosts will have a full stdatomic.h", so maybe we should shift to
use-host-stdatomic-by-default, with the use of the gcc __atomic*
as the fallback at some point ?

Do we really get sequential consistency from ?
Should we not in fact #undef as a workaround instead?

Yes, it's the default value (to pass a memory order you need
atomic_fetch_*_explicit).

That's not a problem as long as they are all functions, the macros would
simply override the function-based implementation.

Sure there are two alternative options:

 - Move to using stdatomic headers - on Linux they seem to be C++ only
 - Rename all out atomic functions - seems a bit of a big patch for rc releases

I suspect we should look at option two for 5.1
