Comment (by tim@…):

 piotr: not being familiar with mipsel toolchains, i wonder: what (gcc)
 compilers are commonly used for this architecture? e.g. is it common to
 use gcc older than 4.4? iirc 4.3 or 4.4 started to define the
 `__GCC_HAVE_SYNC` macros ... and tbo i'd rather not spend too much time on
 toolchains which are hardly used these days (e.g. gcc-3.X) or the like ...

 andrey: real native arm support would be great, but also here i wonder: is
 it really worth to spend time on this? i suppose that most arm toolchains
 provide std::atomic these days...
