>Description:
Right now, devel/glib20 port is built with slower, mutex-based variant of g_atomic_whatever routines, instead of assembler-based ones.  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.
