I have access to a Linux/x86-64 machine running "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4"
It has a pretty old gcc:

$ gcc --version | head -1
gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)

As shown below, this gcc is rejecting some portion of the atomics.
I am certain I've tested ompi-1.5 and 1.6 on this machine w/o any problems, as well as the trunk (probably sometime in late Feb 2012).  So, this appears to be a REGRESSION.

Hi folks

We have posted the next release candidate (rc5) for the 1.7.0 release in the usual place:

http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.7/

Please put it thru the wringer to help us validate it prior to release later this month. We think this looks pretty complete, pending someone finding a problem.

Thanks
Ralph
