I think we should generally link libatomic with --as-needed by default on platforms supporting --as-needed, in line with the general principle that C code just using language not library facilities (_Atomic in this case) shouldn't need any special options to link it (libatomic is like libgcc, which is linked in automatically); the trickier question is what to do with it on any systems supporting shared libraries but not --as-needed. -- Joseph S.
