The __sync_* built-in functions are deprecated in favour of the __atomic_* 
functions (with finer-grained memory model / barrier control) in more 
recent GCC.  You should be using glibc's own macros such as 
atomic_increment and let the architectures determine whether those expand 
to __sync_*, __atomic_* or inline asm.
