note that the patch is wrong for all released versions of gcc (<=5)
because the *fast types are different on musl vs glibc on 64bit arches.
(fwiw newlib defines these types in yet another way)
this is not visible in the libc abi but matters for third-party
code compiled against musl headers and those should be abi
compat no matter what compiler you used.
(with gcc the difference matters if you use the gcc provided stdatomic.h
or use the gfortran c ffi, but then you probably built a gcc
with musl support anyway and then the types are consistent.)
