Any suggestions if we keep the minimum host compiler requirement at
4.4, how should I address the below build failures with "error:
'__ATOMIC_ACQUIRE' undeclared " on the RHEL6.5 autobuilder?
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?reason=host-libselinux-2.7

If this was a more recent compiler version issue, I'd dig into the
package and look at up-streaming a compatibility ifdef check.
