Delving deeper it appears it won't be so easy. The error comes from 
a code that is new in 3.0 and is some kind of reimplementation of the 
locking code. Currently it supports only "mainstream" hardware 
architectures and even includes assembly-optimized parts. Perhaps 
using atomic_ops library would help.

Raising the severity, as the libfbclient2 binary package has built on 
these architectures frrom firebird2.5 source so we have a regression.
