use __WCHAR_TYPE__ on i386 if it is defined
unfortunately traditional i386 practice was to use "long" rather than
"int" for wchar_t, despite the latter being much more natural and
logical. we followed this practice, but it seems some compilers (clang
and maybe certain gcc builds or others too..?) have switched to using
int, resulting in spurious pointer type mismatches when L"..." wide

to the traditional definition.
there's no point in duplicating this approach on 64-bit archs, as
their only 32-bit type is int.

2. threads leaving the barrier continued to access memory within the
barrier object after other threads had successfully returned from

if the barrier object had automatic storage in one of the waiting
threads and went out of scope before all threads finished returning,

lived.
the new implementation avoids both problems by making the barrier
state essentially local to the first thread which enters the barrier

the notion of entering and exiting cancellation-point context has been
completely eliminated and replaced with alternative syscall assembly
code for cancellable syscalls. the assembly is responsible for setting
up execution context information (stack pointer and address of the
syscall instruction) which the cancellation signal handler can use to
determine whether the interrupted code was in a cancellable state.
these changes eliminate race conditions in the previous generation of
cancellation handling code (whereby a cancellation request received
just prior to the syscall would not be processed, leaving the syscall
to block, potentially indefinitely), and remedy an issue where
non-cancellable syscalls made from signal handlers became cancellable
if the signal handler interrupted a cancellation point.
