[cfe-dev] How to disable built-in?

[David Chisnall]

This builtin is also present in GCC 4.7.  I suspect that the code brackets it in a version check that tests for a GCC version >= 4.7.  Since clang reports the GCC version 4.2, this will fail.  

The correct fix is to wrap the check in !__has_builtin(__atomic_compare_exchange), rather than a specific compiler version.  A more hacky work-around would be to #undef the GCC version macros before including this header and re#define them as gcc 4.7.
