Milestone:  Boost 1.39.0                              |   Component:  interprocess
  Version:  Boost 1.38.0                              |    Severity:  Problem     
 Keywords:                                            |  
------------------------------------------------------+---------------------
 Two things don't work under AIX :
 - detail/os_thread_functions.hpp uses ::pthread_equal but this fails
 because pthread_equal is a macro under AIX and it fails because of the ::
 prefix
 - in detail/atomic.hpp there is no implementation of PowerPC under AIX so
 I added one that uses the combination of __lwarx and __stwcx for each
 function to implement.
