Details:

Here is a tracker for non-trivial issues on glibc 2.6

sysdeps/i386/i486/bits/atomic.h uses the multiple_threads TLS field for
knowing whether to put a lock prefix before atomic operations or not. Since
we start a signal thread in each process anyway, this is probably useless and
we should rather always put the lock prefix? (hence have our own copy of
atomic.h)
