The GLib people for some reason decided to break their own API/ABI guarantee. So we moved away from using them. And I have no intention to get back to them. Long term, we are moving away from GLib and want to switch to ELL. So that means gcc atomics are required. My advise would be to get a modern platform and not rely on workarounds.
