[llvm-dev] [llvm-3.8-ec3] cmake-2.8.12 and gcc-4.6: Host compiler appears to require libatomic, but cannot find it.

[Sedat Dilek via llvm-dev]

Hi,

when I switch to an unsupported GCC like v4.6.4 to build LLVM v3.8-rc3
with cmake I get the following:
...
-- Looking for __atomic_fetch_add_4 in atomic
-- Looking for __atomic_fetch_add_4 in atomic - not found
CMake Error at cmake/modules/CheckAtomic.cmake:36 (message):
  Host compiler appears to require libatomic, but cannot find it.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  cmake/config-ix.cmake:296 (include)
  CMakeLists.txt:407 (include)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/wearefam/src/llvm-toolchain/llvm-build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
See also "/home/wearefam/src/llvm-toolchain/llvm-build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".

I would like to see something telling me my host-compiler is not
supported and I need a minimum version
( My host-system is Ubuntu/precise AMD64. )

See also "Host C++ Toolchain, both Compiler and Standard Library"...

"For the most popular host toolchains we check for specific minimum
versions in our build systems:

Clang 3.1
GCC 4.7
Visual Studio 2013"

...and "Getting a Modern Host C++ Toolchain" in [1].

CMakeOutput.log and CMakeError.log are attached.
