RedHat 7.3

I appologize if this has been addressed before.  I did a quick search of
the of the new group and didn't find anything.

I just tried to port a code that uses Boost to a new computer loaded
with RedHat 7.3.  It seems that in 7.3 the /usr/include/asm/atomic.h
header is different and generates a warning (i.e.

  #warning Using kernel header in userland program. BAD!

instead of supplying routines like 

  atomic_add and atomin_sub 

that are apparently required by Boost for the shared_ptr implementation.

I ended up replacing this 7.3 header with one from 7.1 and this fixed
the problem, but if anyone has a better solution, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Scott
