There's a native Win32 implementation of atomic operations using
MemoryBarrier(), etc.: the pthreads version is meant to be a fallback
for non-gcc Unix platforms.

You might need to define G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE to tell GLib to use that
implementation?

If your build environment is too old to support MemoryBarrier(), you
might have to use some other memory barrier: see
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41423> in D-Bus. In D-Bus,
we ended up using InterlockedExchange() instead of MemoryBarrier().
