Comment (by anonymous):

 I ran into the same problem when compiling under Solaris 8 using gcc 4.2.
 To circumvent the issue, I modified asio/detail/fenced_block.hpp where it
 checks #if defined (sun).  I changed it to be #if defined(sun) &&
 !defined(GNUC).  This bypasses sun's atomic operations (which aren't
 present prior to Solaris 10) in favor of gcc's built-in implementation.

 My application compiles fine now, however, I still need to test it.  Is
 there a reason this change would be unsafe?
