+Subject: [PATCH] checks.m4: Keep the atomic test program from being optimized
+ away
+
+TORRENT_CHECK_ATOMIC decides whether -latomic is needed by linking a
+program that loads from a local std::atomic<uint64_t>. The atomic never
+escapes, so with -O2 in CXXFLAGS clang folds the load to a constant and
+no __atomic_* call is emitted. The check then reports that -latomic is
+not required even on targets that need it for 64-bit atomics, such as
+riscv32, and linking fails later:
+
+ ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __atomic_load_8
+
+Make the atomic global and modify it with fetch_add() so the atomic
+operations are emitted at any optimization level.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/pull/2072]

The configure check for -latomic links a program that loads from a local std::atomic<uint64_t>, which clang folds away at -O2. On riscv32 it therefore reports that libatomic is not needed, and linking rtorrent fails: ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __atomic_load_8 Add a patch that makes the test atomic global and modifies it with fetch_add() so the check cannot be optimized away.
