all of the features in the current working draft of the upcoming C++
standard, provisionally named C++1y.
The code generator's performance is greatly increased, and the loop
auto-vectorizer is now enabled at -Os and -O2 in addition to -O3. The
PowerPC backend has made several major improvements to code generation
quality and compile time, and the X86, SPARC, ARM32, Aarch64 and SystemZ
backends have all seen major feature work.

allow the built-in operations to be redefined, at least not without
excessive force).
Instead, just disable LLVM's support for atomic operations for now.
Nothing in either clang or the tablegen tools currently depends on it.
This still allows users of head built before r198344 to upgrade to
top-of-head seamlessly.
to be gcc's default before r198344, calls to atomic builtins will not be
expanded inline. Instead, they will be generated as calls to external
functions (e.g. __sync_fetch_and_add_N), leading to linking errors later
on.
Put in a seatbelt that disables use of atomic builtins in libstdc++ and
llvm, when tuning specifically for the real i386 CPU. This does not
protect against all possible issues, but it is better than nothing.
