I've done a few test builds on the arm64 and ppc64el porterbox where
--without-lockfree is not used, but -lboost_atomic is appended to
LDFLAGS instead. This also addresses the build failures on these two
architectures too.

The question is now why the build system doesn't do this automatically
as it does on the unproblematic architectures.
