* Stefan Liebler:
I've first tried to include atomic.h, but it failed building on
x86_64. Thus I'm using the c11 atomic load in the updated patch.
Okay to commit?
As information, I've observed those gcc errors on x86_64:
In file included from ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/sysdep.h:30,

That's because the test isn't in tests-internal.

Actually, that's not a C11 atomic construct, but I think it's okay to
use that here. (The C11 stuff lives in <stdatomic.h> and should be
functionally equivalent.)
Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine. We have three different atomic
access facilities that people refer to as C11 atomics: Our own
<atomic.h>, the GCC __atomic builtins, and <stdatomic.h>.
I still think this contributes to cognitive load, and we should
eliminate all but one (leaving us with new-style atomics and the old
macros in <atomic.h>). The GCC __atomic builtins have the best freely
available documentation, so they are a natural candidate IMHO.
