 The problem is that it wants to do 64-bit atomic operations on double
 precision floats, but NetBSD doesn't provide this on 32-bit architectures.
 
 The same issue has been reported by users of other operating systems,
 and apparently the solution is to link with GCC's -latomic.
 
 We don't seem to ship this with base gcc, but if a specific compiler
 can be forced, then -latomic addded, maybe that could work as a
 temporary solution.
 
 Otherwise, I'm not sure what to do about this, other than recommend
 amd64.
