The generic implementation of xchg() on arm and x86 works for variables of size one bye (char). According to the report powerpc does not support xchg() for one byte sized variables and looking further it seems also to be the same case for sparc and tile (or for 10 out of 26 architectures which provide a custom implementation). For that reason I increase the size of the variable from one to four bytes to get it work on powerpc (and the others).
