I'll have to ask one of our devs who knows autoconf really well.  I figure 
that's probably a good place to catch something like this.  Have configure check 
/proc/cpuinfo and look for "R10000", and if it finds it, mod CFLAGS to pass 
-DR10k_LLSC_WAR, and #ifdef on that in atomic.h.
Sound plausible?

Thought it would.  I'll keep this in mind if we ever get that running again.
