I think at least part of what is happening here is that this compiler/host doesn't support native 64-bit atomics, but configure has selected CONFIG_ATOMIC64 anyway. I've cc'd Paolo and Richard who 'git blame' suggests have touched the configure test and the stats64.h code in the past. (The compiler provides fallbacks in libatomic for the 64-bit atomics, but we deliberately do not link against libatomic because we do not want to use them.) thanks -- PMM
