protobuf: fix detection of __atomic_*() built-ins - Use the recently introduced BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ATOMIC boolean. - Import an upstream patch to fix error handling when atomic operations are not detected. Without this patch the build fails due to a syntax error instead of showing the proper message. - Add a patch to configure.ac to check if libatomic is needed and force linking to it (we will attempt to submit this upstream). - Disable build for SPARC64 because it fails due to a missing definition of Atomic64. On PowerPC, the __atomic_*() built-ins for 1-byte, 2-byte and 4-byte types are available built-in. The corresponding built-ins for 8-byte types, however, are implemented via libatomic, so requiring gcc >= 4.8. In Buildroot, to simplify things, it was decided to require gcc 4.8 as soon as the architectures has at least one __atomic_*() built-in variant that requires libatomic. Since protobuf most likely only uses the 1, 2 and 4-byte variants, it *could* technically build with gcc 4.7. This is probably not a big deal, and we can live with requiring gcc 4.8 on PowerPC to build protobuf. The same restriction applies to SPARC. The build for SPARC64 breaks even using the master branch of protobuf due to undefined references to some NoBarrier_Atomic*() functions.
