Ah, so you're doing some Microblaze stuff? If so, some help would
definitely be welcome to maintain this platform.

Right.

This has nothing to do with libatomic_ops or not.
__sync and __atomic built-ins are provided by gcc, the compiler.
They are completely orthogonal to libatomic_ops. Programs/libraries
using __sync* or __atomic* functions do not need libatomic_ops.

There is no support for Microblaze in libatomic_ops, so this is not
surprising. See src/atomic_ops/sysdeps/gcc/ in the libatomic_ops
sources.
Maybe with generic.h / generic-small.h, libatomic_ops can rely on the
__sync or __atomic built-ins, but I haven't tried this possibility.

I don't know how things are implemented internally in gcc.

Are you use you are not confusing libatomic_ops and libatomic ?
libatomic_ops is a separate project, which has nothing to do with gcc.
libatomic is a library part of gcc, which exists since gcc 4.7, and
provided as part of the gcc runtime on the target.
Best regards,
