I've just pushed this out to master on git://bogomips.org/raindrops

The original check for "i386" arch was causing builds on SmartOS
to fail.

Also available as a prerelease gem (0.8.0.5.g71f8):

  gem install --pre raindrops

Subject: [PATCH] extconf: better check for GCC atomic builtins

Attempting to test for CMPXCHG on x86 should allow this check to
fail on i386 systems.  We also won't need try_run as a result,
enabling cross-compilation.  The configure.in check in Ruby
1.9.3 does something similar and that's far more widely used
than raindrops is.
