Ports broken on Orocos 2.3.1 with OS_NO_ASM=ON

Hello,

while porting Orocos 2.3.1 to the ARM Cortex-A8, I wanted to test it without
atomic operations at first. My application was just crashing on arm and I
them found that units test related to ports was failing even on x86
(service_port_test, state_test and ports_test). As an example, here is the
output of ports_test:

I'm not very familiar with that part of Orocos, so any help would be very
welcome.

Thank you,
