Yes, thanks for pointing this out.  The stdatomic.h macros also
use the __atomic_* functions so the libatomic dependency remains
the same, but it's a bit better than using the __atomic_*
functions directly.  In particular, stdatomic.h enforces the use
of the _Atomic type modifier which seems very important esp for
pointers to atomic variables.  That's also being fixed in the v2.
