Just a quick update on this: Apparently only the SVN version of glib supports atomic ops on ARM, so you'd have to take a look in SVN. Also, if the atomic ops are emulated by libatomic_ops with mutexes (the way they are right now on your machine) they are not safe for usage in shared memory, and thus PA on archs unsupported by libatomic_ops *IS PLAIN BROKEN*.
