Community,
Turns out that in GCC 4.8 you get support for the atomic builtins
needed to build glibc for i386.
The next bug you hit when building for i386 is a legitimate bug
which is that lowlevellock.h (lll_futex_wake) doesn't return
a value and it should. This causes a build failure compiling
sem_post.c, which is not normally compiled for x86.
So the question I have to ask myself is: Are we willing to support
i386 builds of glibc? Why? Why not?
Cheers,
Carlos.
