This seems to be the problem in my box, and Benjamin's hint did solve the
problem (setting MaxAtomicInlineWidth). However, I'm not sure what relation
that variable has to do with choosing library calls or not. If it's just a
matter of variable sizes (allowing direct atomic calls on 64-bit VFP
instructions), that it's possible that the fix is correct.

I have applied it and Clang compiles code that it wouldn't previously, but
I'm waiting for the build to finish to self-host Clang itself, which is the
ultimate test. I'll keep you posted.

You mean in Clang? Or a library?
