Bug#376260: glib2.0: FTBFS on IA64

[Loïc Minier]

        Hi,

 I tried building the trivial attached foo.c with "gcc -o foo foo.c",
 and it worked fine on i386 and didn't work on ia64.  As I understand
 it, this function can either be implemented with assembly if the
 subarch permits it (and the relevant -m flag is present), or via a
 function call (says info gcc-4.1, "Atomic Builtins").
   So, I suppose the problem is one of:
 - not passing the relevant -m flag
 - compiler bug
 - not checking whether this builtin works at configure time

 Should this be forwarded to gcc folks?

   Bye,
