Actually only mips seems to define it wrongly.  arm and x86 define
cmpcxhg64() in some 32-bit configurations (depending on required CPU
type).  There's not an obvious config symbol that could be used to
check for this specifically.

One of the nice things about standards is that there are so many of them.
