I'm using nginx 1.2.3 and my architecture is pentium 3 as shown in the below output:

[is]

./configure --help | grep libatomic

--with-libatomic force libatomic_ops library usage
--with-libatomic=DIR set path to libatomic_ops library sources

You should use either

--with-libatomic

or

--with-libatomic=/path/to/libatomic/source/files/

Besides, libatomic is required only for exotic platforms which have no gcc and nginx builtin atomic support.

Pentium 3 is supported by both gcc:

checking for gcc builtin atomic operations ... found

and nginx itself.

Replying to is:

The options were used as I passed the ticket:

 --with-libatomic

Passing or not he is giving the error I mentioned, I have another server with Debian and it is working, it is an amd.

Ubuntu used libatomic_ops.

Ubuntu used libatomic_ops.

gcc generates better inlined code (just single CPU instruction on i386/amd64) with its builtin atomic operations instead of external function calls to libatomic_ops.

The problem occurred because in my system have changed through grep alias:

File: ~ /. bashrc

export GREP_OPTIONS="--line-number --before-context=3 --after-context=3 --color=always"

But I also see as a problem that we have in the build Nginx scripts, he does not anticipate that grep can be aliased to avoid problems and one way that I see to be the simplest is:

file: nginx-1.2.3/auto/cc/gcc

Well, --color=auto exists for reason. As with the options set grep behaviour isn't compatible with ​POSIX there is no surprise configure fails.

The patch might work for you, but it's certainly neither something general nor the route we want to follow. It also changes semantics of the actual test, and no longer handles "gcc driver version ... executing gcc version ..." as used to be produced by gcc invoked with -V switch.

I would suggest to fix your build environment instead.
