Those are now provided by compiler-rt when using clang. With GCC you'll
have to link libatomic. I had a quick look at the code in libc++ that uses
the 64-bit atomics a few weeks ago and I believe it's the futex fallback
code. The best solution would probably be to port it to use umtx but for
MIPS32 it might be fine to use a 32 bit atomic instead.
