Yes, the reduced testcase in the PR should fail on virtually any
platform. But some CPUs (i386 and sparc32) use code that triggers
this bug in libstdc++-v3/config/cpu/*/atomicity.h whereas others
don't (e.g. i686) because they have optimized assembler versions.
I'm pretty much sure that that the i386-Version of __exchange_and_add
will be miscompiled and cause various libstdc++-v3 testsuite failures.
Note that __exchange_and_add is in turn used to make sure that things like
std::cout is initialized exactly once. With the miscompilation the
initilization never happens which leads to various interesting failures.
