When building OVS (the latest master) under Ubuntu 12.04, it stuck at the unit 
test "test atomic operations” and never finishes (or it could just be 
unbearably slow). This problem doesn’t happen in Ubuntu 14.04, however. 

library unit tests

 21: test flow extractor                             ok
 22: test TCP/IP checksumming                        ok
 23: test hash functions                             ok
 24: test hash map                                   ok
 25: test hash index                                 ok
 26: test cuckoo hash                                ok
 27: test atomic operations                          <stuck here forever>

This could be because gcc in Ubuntu 12.04 is too old that it can’t handle 
atomic operations very well. Please see more details below about two 
environments I experimented. Is this a known issue?
