What steps will reproduce the bug?

  1. Install NVM (instructions are provided in the README of this repo https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)
  2. Attempt to install latest LTS version of Node.js: nvm install --lts

Attempt to install Node.js with NVM results in a build from sources, because there is no prebuilt binary for this platform available.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

Build succeeds.

What do you see instead?

Build fails, as follows:

Additional information

  1. Additional diagnostic:
$ c++ -print-file-name=libatomic.so
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/12/libatomic.so

$ ls -la /usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/12/libatomic.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Mar 28  2025 /usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/12/libatomic.so -> ../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/libatomic.so.1

$ nm -D $(c++ -print-file-name=libatomic.so) | grep __atomic_load_8
00003f98 i __atomic_load_8@@LIBATOMIC_1.0

So, libatomic1 is present, required symbol in it is also present.
It looks like order of libraries (-l options) needs to be fixes.

  1. Same issue happens also on the previous version of Raspbian (i.e. Raspbian 12 "Bookworm") with 32-bit userspace.
