I can not get around ipc in firefox52, --disable-ipc doesn't exist in configure.
So i guess the problem has to be solved in ipc/chromium/src/base/atomicops.h

As stated this is built on and for a 64bit linux, but it seems the
detection is only in place for *BSD:

// Use AtomicWord for a machine-sized pointer.  It will use the Atomic32 or
// Atomic64 routines below, depending on your architecture.
#if defined(OS_OPENBSD) || (defined(OS_NETBSD) && defined(ARCH_CPU_ARM_FAMILY))
#ifdef ARCH_CPU_64_BITS
typedef Atomic64 AtomicWord;
#else
typedef Atomic32 AtomicWord;
#endif // ARCH_CPU_64_BITS
#else
typedef intptr_t AtomicWord;
#endif // OS_OPENBSD

Any idea how i can fix this?

I will try to just set it to the supposedly correct value.
