      During earlier porting work, we forced GPerftools to use the GCC __atomic API rather than the per-architecture hand-rolled assembly. However, we have some indirect evidence gathered while investigating SERVER-25956 that the GCC implementation may not be functioning correctly. We should take a closer look at the GCC __atomics implementation, and potentially revert to the per-architecture files.
