I tend to agree, but this was it was historical done and I prefer to
*not* change now (and H.J already raised this as well).

I think it would be better to disable a 64-bit atomic on x32 on a
subsequent patch with a explanation on where it fails (since now
x32 glibc deployments are using it anyway).
