Do we emulate them for MIPS I? We do emulate "ll" and "sc" and adding "sync" is easy

Currently, I (and thus GCC 4.3) am assuming that Linux emulates 'll', 'sc' and 'sync', If sync is not emulated, we would need to adjust the code generation so that it is not emitted on ISAs that don't support it.


I just checked myself. 'sync' is not emulated. We will have to make a change so that it is not emitted on ISAs that do not support it.
