Thank you for the hint. I had not ever seen this before with a build of
anything from isc however I had also recently switched build machines. I
had an older system which used a well patched Oracle Studio 12.4 release
as that thing supported old sparc units. When all the old sparc units
went away then so did the Oracle Studio 12.4 and here we are with 12.6
which seems to do ... odd things.

Could switch over whole hog to gcc of course.

I'll look into this "atomics" thingy.  Thank you.
