Maxime told me that I can't use _relaxed accessors if I depends on
COMPILE_TEST since they are not generic.

So which one I have to keep? To be honest, I have no idea about
performance gain using _relaxed. Due to the use of descriptors, I feel
like saying using _relaxed or not should not change performances.
