Ahh...

AIUI the issue is a package which is built by pkgsrc gcc is missing
the runtime dependency on gcc-libs/gcc. So something which checks at
build time for -latomic  should be able to flag that the extra
dependency is needed, and if it can't automatically add the dependency
it should be able detect that its missing and fail the build if
PKG_DEVELOPER?
