I meant "like on Linux"... in gcc 4.8 times gecko needed -latomic to 
build, now not more.

Yes... I had it installed, but I had to be crude to use it. I added in 
mozconfig:

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -latomic"


which is a little bit crude perhaps. How did you manage it for FF 45 or 
FF52? I looked if mozilla has added some wizardry to support 32bit 
netbsd, but could find none.
There is an explicit test for -latomic, but without the correct paths it 
will sure fail.
