--- Comment #8 from Bill Spitzak <spitzak at gmail.com> ---
Apparently the old commands come from the "Intel Itanium Processor-specific
Application Binary Interface, section 7.4". This is according to the gcc page
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.0/gcc/Atomic-Builtins.html. The Intel
docuement: https://uclibc.org/docs/psABI-ia64.pdf

Therefore calling these "GCC_LEGACY" is probably wrong. "INTEL" is more
accurate but certainly leads people to believe it has something to do with I86.
I'm thinking they should be called "ICC" (the name of the Intel C Compiler is
ICC) or maybe IIPsABI using the initial of the document title, or some
variation of that.
