Our only GCC7 issue appears to that it needs to be linked against
libatomic explicitly. This commit links to libamotic explicitly on any
Linux platform regardless of compiler version.

Closes #1756

This passes CI so, no problem for using with GCC6 on Trusty.

@lisael @russel could you verify this fixes #1756 for you?

I set up a Sid VM and verified both the issue and the fix. I'll have a different PR for instructions for building on Sid as I had to figure that out.

However there is then a problem with building pony programs.

This doesnt work on FreeBSD. I've updated the PR to be linux only. If this passes CI, its good to merge.

Reported in on #1756 that 499a1df seems to work fine on Debian Sid with GCC 7.
