I don't know whether __atomic_* functions are standard builtins or if
they are just an implementation detail.

If they are standard builtins, it makes more sense to check for them as
this patch does.

If they aren't, we instead should try to link a program using
stdatomic.h's atomic_* functions, and if it doesn't work assume
libatomic.so is required.
