correct, I've no idea why all these non-rc architectures currently
failing too.

You pointed to a AtomicOperations.h that is based on Mozilla 55 with
some dramatically changes within the JIT stuff against 52.2.0 so I was
conservative and only picked a modification from Mike [1] for s390x that
should work for now.

For more like pulling those changes to the JIT compiler the needed
adjustments to the patch queue afterwards we haven't enough resources
now.

The Thunderbird guys preparing a small fixup release 52.2.1 an we will
probably delay a new upload until they release this version.
