This is slower and possibly unreliable, as there are semantical differences between the two (mutex-based versions may deadlock). This breaks audio/ardour and possibly other applications. Fix would be to patch the configure script to set host_cpu to "i486" instead of "i386". This would break glib20 on a real i386, though. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
