I was planning to do it for mingw but I haven't yet changed any arch.h.
On the other hand, I've been running AMD 2.6 for a week now and only saw
this sem_wait() fail once (but I only occasionally test with that
platform - different OpenCL compilers give different clues to problems!)
We should have a ticket system. Maybe I'll just add a crude to-do list
to the wishlist wiki page for now, with things like this that need to be
looked into.
