As far as I know, __ARM_ARCH_6ZK__ is gcc specific and clang only ever
defines __ARM_ARCH_6KZ__. Older versions of gcc only define
__ARM_ARCH_6ZK__ and newer versions of gcc define both
__ARM_ARCH_6KZ__ and __ARM_ARCH_6ZK__.

In atomic_arch.h, replacing the current ARMv6 tests with __ARM_ARCH >=
6 would be OK (if we could rely on __ARM_ARCH).
For pthread_arch.h, there are ARMv6 cores which lack the c13
coprocessor thread and process ID registers so __ARM_ARCH >= 6
wouldn't be fine grained enough.
