I tried their CVS version (alpha5), and am stack at an assembly error: libtool: compile: cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./include -I./include -I./ libatomic_ops/src -I./libatomic_ops/src -fexceptions -g -O2 -MT os_dep.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/os_dep.Tpo -c os_dep.c -fno-common -DPIC - o .libs/os_dep.o /var/folders/qW/qWY+4Ku1GF0WXrOsV+IDvk+++TM/-Tmp-//ccTVEUmt.s: 427:Incorrect register `%eax' used with `b' suffix /var/folders/qW/qWY+4Ku1GF0WXrOsV+IDvk+++TM/-Tmp-//ccTVEUmt.s: 767:Incorrect register `%eax' used with `b' suffix make[1]: *** [os_dep.lo] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Could even be a compiler bug...
