The comment in that file says:

// Low-level functions for atomic operations: x86, x < 4 version  -*- C++ -*-

Is that incorrect?  Hmm, it's the same as the 486 version, so the
comment is wrong.

This will be fixed in gcc 3.3 (at a performance penalty; we need to
think about providing the i486 version also).
