Hang on, what are we doing here. Are we linking libatomic statically
into libgo? That's only going to work so long as the target does not
require the use of a mutex. While that's most desktop targets, it's
certainly not all of them.
If the target requires a mutex for the atomic operation, then there
must be exactly one copy of the atomic library.
