This is a merge of r191125 and r191191 from gcc-4_7-branch.  It fixes
a race in __cxa_guard_acquire which can cause duplicate initialization
of static variables within functions.

Okay for google/gcc-4_7?

Thanks,
Ollie

        * libsupc++/guard.cc (__cxa_guard_acquire): Exit the loop earlier if
        we detect that another thread has had success. Don't compare_exchange
        from a finished state back to a waiting state.  Fix up the last
        argument of the first __atomic_compare_exchange_n.  Comment.
