Looks like std::atomic that came with the latest XCode that still runs on OS X
10.8 is also broken with Clang.
Choices:
1) drop the ability to build Qt and applications using an old XCode
2) keep qatomic_x86.h for OS X.
So, Mac people: is it ok to drop OS X 10.8 as a *build* platform? This should
not affect using it as a target.
