Well... you could ask Intel via Beman or John Maddock who are our points of 
contact at the moment. :-)

In the meantime we'll probably need to add

  && ( !defined(__INTEL_COMPILER) || defined(__ia64) )

to the line in detail/spinlock.hpp that chooses the _sync path. But it would 
be nice to have an official word from Intel as to whether the __sync 
intrinsics are (going to be?) supported on x86-64.
