I just noticed that the recent atomicity changes introduce a build failure on x86 macos (Catalina). Now if we wanted to, we can say "this is too old and outside our support policy", of course... (I don't know if newer x86 macos is OK -- this machine can't upgrade to anything newer than Catalina. So it's due to be decommissioned pretty soon anyway.)
