You want == here, don't you?

The reason I switched was that the non-atomic test didn't work for me.
I have now debugged it, and it needs this:

@@ -29,12 +29,12 @@ static void gcc_builtin_unlock(int *lock_var)
 }
 static void none_lock(int *lock_var)
 {
-       while (*lock_var != 0);
-       *lock_var = 1;
+       while (*(volatile int *)lock_var != 0);
+       *(volatile int *)lock_var = 1;
 }
 static void none_unlock(int *lock_var)
 {
-       *lock_var = 0;
+       *(volatile int *)lock_var = 0;
 }

 static int global_a, global_b;

Otherwise the none_lock function does not reload lock_var.
