If OpenAL now requires lock-free atomics, then I think that's going to be
unfixable on armel: if its upstream developer will not revert the change
(which I suspect they will not want to) then it will have to be removed
from armel.
The upstream issue says lock-free 64-bit atomics are needed for:

I think it might be more proportionate to remove openal-soft from armel
than to go to heroic efforts to make it supportable: OpenAL doesn't seem
like something that is required by reasonable use-cases for this particular
platform.
`dak rm -R -n -a armel openal-soft` says this will require removal of
various other packages. They're mostly games (leaf or near-leaf packages
that can be removed from armel easily), but some look more problematic
to remove, and might need to be built without OpenAL support on armel
(if possible) instead of being removed altogether:
- allegro5 (?)
- alure (?)
- ffmpeg
- freealut (?)
- gst-plugins-bad1.0
- libmikmod (?)
- libsfml (?)
- mpd
- mpg123
- mplayer
- qtmultimedia-opensource-src
Among -ports architectures, m68k and sh4 also lack the necessary atomics
and therefore are affected by a similar issue.
