I could be boost thread. I just saw following in the doc:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/thread/build.html#thread.build.configuration.move0

It looks like boost thread depends on atomic on posix. Before submitting the patch I tested the compile, but haven't tested the use of boost thread (I don't use this part in my projects). I cannot investigate and test this right now, but it seems that boost thread should probably add a dependency to boost atomic.
