>Description:

Some architectures (i386 is one) are missing an implementation of
__sync_lock_test_and_set_8.

Basically this should do an atomic set of a 64 bit value:

uin64_t __sync_lock_test_and_set_8(volatile uint64_t *addr, uint64_t val)
{
        uint64_t old = *addr;
        *addr = val;
        return old;
}

But all this done atomically - needs someone (for at least i386) to understand
the early cpu differences and the patch maze in src/common/libc/arch/i386/atomic

Other architectures are likely affected as well (will gather a list in that
test case).

>How-To-Repeat:
Uncomment the relevant lines from /usr/src/tests/lib/libc/sync and try to
compile it.

>Fix:
n/a
