The x86_64 builds work very well with buildroot but I am having a bit of a problem replacing an uClibc build with musl when I have enabled thumb2 instructions. I have checked the documentation and I cannot find anything specific about thumb2 either working or not working, so therefore I will ask the list.

They're probably from a CFLAGS setting that's getting passed to all
packages, and they should not be there. There's a widespread
misconception that these options are needed for 64-bit off_t. They're
not. They're purely for exposing the legacy foo64() functions.

Indeed, this one is no problem and should be in your system-wide
CFLAGS if you're using glibc, but with musl it's a no-op so it could
just as well be omitted.

Yes, this is a regression we accidentally introduced in 1.1.0. I'd
like to fix it if someone with ARM knowledge can help. For now perhaps
the easiest way would be adding #if __THUMB__ or whatever to atomic.h
and writing a separate thumb version.
