Or did you really mean

  "... only apply to cases where the memory protected by the lock
   was visible to more than one library."

Yes, if libgo is attempting atomic accesses to its own data structures,
which themselves are not exported from libgo, then a copy of libatomic
ought to work.

It would probably be better for the shared libgo to depend on the
shared libatomic though.  That's simply more pedantically correct.
