## Message

```
compiler: Classify libatomic as an alias for compiler-rt.

This is a library that ships with GCC and provides fallback implementations of
atomic intrinsics where necessary. Since we do the same in our compiler-rt
implementation, and since some build systems insist on passing -latomic even
for Clang (which zig cc masquerades as), just satisfy this dependency by way of
compiler-rt.

Closes #22165.

```
