I've been forcing usage of gcc atomic ops ever since
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652827
instead of relying on the fallback implementation.

So I still have the patch from that bug report marked
"rejected" applied here. By doing so you're also forced
to ./configure with -march=i486 or higher.

I'm currently doing this (heavily based on tml's build
scripts):

cd ${SRC_DIR} &&
lt_cv_deplibs_check_method="pass_all" \
CC="gcc -mthreads" \
CFLAGS="-O0 -g -pipe -Wall -march=i486 -mms-bitfields" \
CPPFLAGS="-I${DEPS}/gettext-runtime-0.18.1.1-2/include \
-I${DEPS}/zlib-1.2.5-2/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L${DEPS}/gettext-runtime-0.18.1.1-2/lib \
-L${DEPS}/zlib-1.2.5-2/lib \
-Wl,--enable-auto-image-base" \
"./configure" \
    --disable-gtk-doc \
    --disable-static \
    --enable-silent-rules \
    --prefix="${DIST_DIR}" &&

(cd glib &&
make glibconfig.h.win32 &&
make glibconfig-stamp &&
mv glibconfig.h glibconfig.h.autogened &&
cp glibconfig.h.win32 glibconfig.h) &&

cd ${BUILD_DIR} &&
PATH="${DIST_DIR}/bin:${PATH}" \
make -j3 install

mvg,
