If I revert the patch, it doesn't link against libatomic and thus I no longer have this dependency. Alan suggested installing libatomic as the solution, and while I can make a package for that, I don't understand what I would be loosing by omitting -latomic from the linker and building without it. Can someone explain why I shouldn't just revert the patch in my build script and eliminate this dependency? If you revert the patch and it still works, go for it.
But many platforms require libatomic in order to do atomic operations.

Okay, thanks for the info. schu
