This is a problem with that OS dependent libraries aren't 
separated from OS independent libraries. In the future the atomic 
library should be in an OS independent part of the core library 
while those that depends on an underlying OS should be in their 
own. In all we need a finer granularity of the standard library 
depending on what the library depends on. Future DIP needed for 
this.
