Thank you. I will try to handcraft a patch for the build system itself and push it upstream ASAP. Reminds me on a similar problem with https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=apt-cacher-ng&arch=powerpc&ver=3-5&stamp=1493319231&raw=0 which is confusing, the current solution (detection of libatomic) was successfull on mips and most other 32-bit arches. Needs a tougher investigation, apparently. Best regards, Eduard.
