Could not have said it better myself. If you have the emulation then you
can always use a noLLSC version of glibc if you are performance-driven.
Otherwise you can _also_ use the generic LLSC version. The overhead of
having a few hundreds of words of code is pretty small (compared with
70+k of filenames via the BUG() macro) and ensures that either glibc
will work. It's the best of both worlds.
