Somewhat beating a dead horse...

The original author apparently did not test his code with a 64 bit 
machine, remember package dates from ~2005. The return machine type for 
an intel Pentium+ or AMD is "x86_64" NOT "i86_64". If atomicptr.h is 
editted to make that change, as I indicated above, x86_64, rather than 
i86_64, the compile completes if the wrap_##f change is done and a bunch 
of undone functions are commented out.

<bruce really wants to know this...>
Hmm, did you have to do the wrap_##f change or not? Any other edits?

<snip some of bruce's stuff>

<bruce, imploring now...>
If I could really impose on you... If you cd to the psock-testperf dir 
and run

./psock-testperf --xmit --in mem --len 10000 --connect host

and on another window
and run
./psock-testperf --recv --out mem --listen

This works across a network for me.  (One cannot just copy the executable 
however.  One needs to build it on the other node as well.)

However, if len is 1,000,000 it does not.  20,000 does not work either.

Does it do the same for you?
