Franck, All,

On 2014-12-22 04:04 -0500, Frank Hunleth spake thusly:
> Erlang can use either the system libatomic_ops or its own version.
> However, if using the system version, it must find implementations for
> AO_compare_and_swap() and other calls.  Since these are not available on
> all platforms, selectively enable the use of the system libatomic_ops.

Well, we already have BR2_PACKAGE_LIBATOMIC_ARCH_SUPPORTS that defines
which architecture libatomic_ops supports.

So, unless AO_compare_and_swap() is not available on all those
architectures (and it seems it is), you should use that symbol instead.

So the consition for this block should stay the same, but the
--without-libatomic_ops addition is still welcome.
