So you distiguish the threads support from the atomic support? The
real advantage would be to have them both, I think, and they are
closely related.

For atomic most can probably be done in the library respectively in
header files with inline functions (are they allowed to be macros?)
that just map to the gcc builtins. But a direct support of _Atomic
would at least need some integration in the compiler itself.
