It turns out Abseil upstream doesn’t have a great way of specifying
dependencies on external libraries in their CMake support files. So far,
this hasn’t been an issue, probably because most projects using the
CMake support files are happy with the default dynamic linking, where
dependencies are handled by the loader. But I’m now more skeptical that
a single patch will solve both of these issues.

I’ll continue investigation, but in the meantime, I’m going to do an
upload with -latomic in the right places. That should solve the build
problems on armel.
