FWIW, I'm good with getting rid of --disable-spinlocks and
--disable-atomics.  That's a fair amount of code and needing to
support it causes problems, as you say.  I am very much less
excited about ripping out our spinlock and/or atomics code in favor
of <stdatomic.h>; I just don't see the gain there, and I do see risk
in ceding control of the semantics and performance of those
primitives.
