The builtins used by default on Power have been shown to perform poorly. For the time being, force all compilers to use the inline assembly until atomic builtins catch-up. This changes the defaults for all compilers sans xl, including: gcc, clang, and pgi to use the assembly. Previously, all of the above were using C11 or the gcc builtins. Bonus: Add a configure flag to force Power machines to use the builtins/C11, depending on what is available. This will make future testing easier.
