Right you are :)

But anyway, if not using libc, you need to do the FUTEX user space part
in Pascal/Assembler

 - With X86 using the appropriate assembler instructions (such as "lock
cmpxchg")
 - with ARM11 using "load locked / store conditional"
 - with ARM9 using an appropriate call to a fixed Kernel defined address
to have the atomic instruction executed.

tricky but doable.
