It has taken me a while to try a few things out at this end, but in the end I've still drawn a blank. To recap, I'm compiling on a Broadcom SB1, which is a MIPS64 board, using a Gnu compiler and tools. The error message I get is:configure: error: No atomic primitives available for mips64-unknown-linux-gnu
I think that this is a fairly easy fix - Irix identifies any MIPS chip as a mips-* from config.guess, but Linux apparently makes a distinction between mips and mips64. Attached is a patch that should help, although you will need to run autogen.sh (and have all the tools described here: http://www.open-mpi.org/svn/building.php). Can you apply this patch, reconfigure / build and run "make check" in [topsrcdir]/test? The make check includes some basic tests to make sure the atomic operations behave properly.
