+Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac: link with -latomic if needed
+
+libusb unconditionally uses atomic_fetch_add since version 1.0.25 and
+https://github.com/libusb/libusb/commit/1a08aa84d96397a3840a75abe66051f5360c2c84
+https://github.com/libusb/libusb/commit/eed8a371ea53939096ba94d44001e0637d042572
+but some architectures (e.g. sparc) needs to link with -latomic to be
+able to use it. So check if -latomic is needed and update libusb-1.0.pc
+accordingly to avoid the following build failure with openocd:
+
+/home/buildroot/autobuild/instance-0/output-1/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/sparc-buildroot-linux-uclibc/10.3.0/../../../../sparc-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: /home/buildroot/autobuild/instance-0/output-1/host/sparc-buildroot-linux-uclibc/sysroot/usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so: undefined reference to `__atomic_fetch_add_4'
+collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
+
+Fixes:
