A link to the sources would have been helpful. I guess it's this
project:

	http://mapreduce.stanford.edu/

with the sources being

	http://mapreduce.stanford.edu/plus/phoenix++-1.0.tar.gz

?

If that's your input, how did you ever reach the assembler error? If I
read the sources correctly, along with your description, only x86_64
and SparcV9 are supported ISAs wrt. their atomic.h.  That is, anything
else (ie. Alpha) should have run in an #error...  Other than that,
there's the libatomic_ops project which will probably provide you with
readily-useable functions. I guess it's not a lot of work to change
Phoenix++ to use it.
