would appear you will need manually link against libatomic

$ nm /opt/local/lib/gcc6/libatomic.1.dylib | grep fetch_add_8
0000368c T ___atomic_fetch_add_8

something like

configure.ldflags-append -latomic

might be sufficient, if you're lucky.

And then who knows where the next error might come up, but ...

[kencu (Ken)]

You might say that you should not have to manually link in -latomic , and it appears the gcc developers agree with you, but have not yet fixed this issue <​https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81358>

I cannot assist on this issue. I don't have access to a PPC or 10.5 platform. Additionally, I don't think MySQL 8 officially supports 10.5

As of [1cdb3d250f/macports-ports] this port requires macOS 10.13. The idea to use newer stdlib (i.e. one capable of C++17) was rejected. This ticket can be closed.
