Hi Ion,

Two (crazy!) options:

- Compile with a new gcc, and ship the resulting .s files.  
Disadvantages: I doubt that the Boost build tools (etc.) are set up for 
this, and it won't let the atomic operations be inline.

- Compile with a new gcc, and copy-and-paste the assembler from the 
resulting .s file into asm statements.

Regards,

Phil.
