That smells wrong, there should be no need for --no-as-needed, and 
without that, this can just be linked unconditionally everywhere.

It should be fixed upstream though, by making libatomic a PUBLIC 
dependency of libcommon.

Probably also riscv.

The main problem would probably be below "thirdparty/libcontext", which 
has some assembler code.
