Perhaps this is already known. Several builds I've tried recently from the ompi (not ompi-release) repo are failing on 32-bit platforms with ../../../opal/.libs/libopen-pal.so: undefined reference to `__sync_add_and_fetch_8'
This is impacting PRs that I am being asked to test (e.g. 1643). Note that I did *not* configure with --enable-builtin-atomics, yet configure seems to show them being selected anyway: *** Assembler checking dependency style of gcc -std=gnu99... gcc3 checking for BSD- or MS-compatible name lister (nm)... /usr/bin/nm -B checking the name lister (/usr/bin/nm -B) interface...
