All of the builds that failed thus far miss -latomic on some linker
invocation. This applies at least to armel, mipsel, m68k and riscv64.

This one does things about atomics.

This one is very unlikely, because the changed code is conditional to
x86.

This patch is still broken due to refactoring. After my remark, you only
added the libedit-dev build dependency back. libgnutls28-dev and
libncurses5-dev are still missing and therefore mariadb-10.5 still fails
to cross build.

Once you fix the ftcbfs, I guess that you can reproduce the native armel
ftbfs using a cross build from x86. Doing so allows you to figure out
which patch is causing the failure by temporarily reverting each in
local builds. It'd start with the first one about atomics.
