[Bug c/40693] atomic built-ins malfunction with 64-bit and optimization

I forgot to add: You need to compile this with -O2 and -march=pentium.

The way that negative constants are handled in the code emitted for
__sync_blah_and_blah is incorrect when the pointer type is 64-bits and the
platform is 32-bit x86.  That's the real issue.  Calling
__sync_blah_and_blah(ptr, -1) is sufficient (where ptr is a pointer to a 64-bit
signed type).  Then you do not need to turn on optimization.

This doesn't really have anything to do with optimization... it's just that
there is a strange interplay with optimization whereby the function has the bad
behavior exhibited with constants even when it doesn't look like one is passing
a constant (such as when calling this through an inline function).
