fix: properly detect 'cmpxchg' on x86-32

We wrongly assumed that on x86-32 when '__i386__' is defined but none of
'__i486__', '__i586__' or '__i686__' that the target arch is a literal
i386 cpu without the cmpxchg instructions. However, when building with
'-march=core2' we get '__i386__' but none of the others even if the arch
is newer than an i686.

Change the compat code to use the '__GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_4'
builtin define to detect an x86-32 system without the cmpxchg
instructions.

Since this builtin define was introduced in GCC 4.3 and Clang 3.3,
building with older compilers on any x86-32 system will enable the
compat layer regardless of the availability of the instructions.
