No, the macros were supposed to be a portable way of accessing the
Interlocked* family of WinAPI calls without having to #include <windows.h>.
That's probably why shared_ptr doesn't have a problem on MingW64 - it uses a
g++ specific implementation there. (Interlocked* later mutated into compiler
intrinsics.)
