https://bugs.debian.org/841771 includes a patch that does not
necessarily work, but it lets libatomic_ops compile and makes compiling
reverse dependencies possible. Thus it helps with bootstrapping Debian
tilegx. I'd hope that libatomic_ops 7.6 is released when the rest of
essential cross compiled to tilegx. I guess I need to send patches for
guile-2.0, libbsd, openssl, gmp, and some more.
