>Description:
devel/apr was updated to 1.7.0 in pkgsrc-2019Q2

Building www/apache24 (that depends on devel/apr) on NetBSD/macppc fails with:

*** Error code 1

apr tries to detect if the compiler HAVE_ATOMIC_BUILTINS by doing a
configure test with an unsigned long test variable and it succeeds b/c
ppc has 4-byte atomics.  Then it uses that condition to cover all of
its atomic functions, including 8-byte, which are not implemented on
ppc.  So gcc emits calls to external functions for them and those are
unresolved.

Perhaps apr should do the configure test with a known 8 byte type
instead.

I'd expect this to be the case for many other 32-bit platforms.

Specifically for ppc I was able to work around this by building with
ap_cv_atomic_builtins=no in the environment to force its hand and with
an additional change to include/arch/unix/apr_arch_atomic.h.  That
header tests for ppc by checking __PPC__ and __ppc__ which are not
defined, but doesn't check __powerpc__ which is.

Build www/apache24 on NetBSD/macppc
