/**
* Implementation of an atomic add operation for the GCC environment, or the
* X86 processor. If we are working within GNU C then we can use the GCC
* atomic add built in function, which is portable across platforms that
* implement GCC. Otherwise, this function currently supports only X86
* architecture (without further development).
*
* Adds a value to the contents of a location pointed to by the first parameter.
* The add operation is atomic and the return value is the value stored in the
* location prior to the operation. The number that is added may be signed,
* therefore atomic_subtract is merely an atomic add with a negative value.
*
* @param variable Pointer the the variable to add to
* @param value Value to be added
* @return The value of variable before the add occurred
