Adding something like

enabled_any w32threads os2threads && disabled_all sync_val_compare_and_swap machine_rw_barrier MemoryBarrier &&
                                     die "Something here"

to configure should be enough.
I'm however not sure what message to use for the die() call. Maybe something like "Atomic operations are not 
available with the selected thread type and CPU target combination"?

Regards.
