Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-libc-dev

linux-libc-dev provides /usr/include/asm/atomic.h, which includes the CPU-appropriate asm-${ARCH}/atomic.h file. /usr/include/asm-x86_64/atomic.h includes <asm/alternative.h> (apparently just to get the definition of LOCK_PREFIX), which is missing.

How to reproduce: Compile a file containing just #include <asm/atomic.h> using gcc -c filename.c.
