Actually, the more I think about this, and the more I believe it should
be a property of the architecture rather than a property of the
toolchain. So it should probably rather be
BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC_INTRINSICS. And then, since it's a property of the
architecture, i.e not something the user can enable/disable, there is
no point in adding Config.in comment for that. So we would handle that
like we handle BR2_USE_MMU, not like we handle BR2_LARGEFILE.

Thoughts?

Ah, I remember now, that we talked about that. My bad, I had forgotten
during the review.

However, we can't really change the implementation now, we're frozen for
the release.

What about adding this to the manual for now, since it does reflect the
current status of the code, and switch to an architecture option in
-next, or after the release is cut?

Yann E. MORIN.

I disagree: it's still time to change this, before it gets set in stone
by doing a release.

OK, I'll see to send a patch series for that tonight.
