 * According to the documentation __sync_synchronize() will
 * issue a full memory barrier. However, __sync_synchronize()
 * is known to erroneously be a noop on at least some
 * platforms with some gcc versions. This has suposedly been
 * fixed in some gcc version, but we don't know from which
 * version. Therefore, we only use it when it has been
 * verified to work. Otherwise we use the workaround
