Description

Homepage: http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/download.php4

Latest release:
http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/download/libatomic_ops-1.2.tar.gz

But we really want a more recent version with e.g. PIC fixes. So we could probably take the debian version from:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libatomic-ops-dev
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/liba/libatomic-ops/libatomic-ops_1.2+cvs20080819.orig.tar.gz

Note, we probably want this as development package only: the package is mostly a huge bunch of header files to have inline assembler definitions for the atomic operations. It does provide two very small static libraries too for some larger functions. But I don't see any point in having two really small .so:s to create extra dependencies.

Not needed after all. GCC built-ins provide all features needed, and are more robust. We also do not have any package requiring this, so this can be dropped.
