Update again, I just fixed it a couple of hours ago.

The atomic.h from glibc, which I put into platform, is the one to use.
I changed pthread to use it.

Before we know which parts end up to be in glibc, and which not, and
what the dependencies are, these things will naturally be a bit messy
and vague.  But at least the atomic.h in platform is from current
glibc, and available for quite some architectures (nptl also uses it).

I am right now in the process of fixing the code to not break strict
aliasing rules (even though current gcc won't do global optimization,
but it's better to get it right from the beginning).  After that,
there are some changes to the task server I have not committed yet.

Thanks,
Marcus
