-moutline-atomics
has been added to aid
+ deployment of the Large System Extensions (LSE) on GNU/Linux systems built
+ with a baseline architecture targeting Armv8-A. When the option is
+ specified code is emitted to detect the presence of LSE instructions at
+ runtime and use them for standard atomic operations.
