[tor-commits] [tor/release-0.3.3] Detect broken stdatomic.h, and pretend that it isn't there at all

[nickm at torproject.org]

commit b66386865e68d8df0f228187781fcd5bc2dbf184
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm at torproject.org>
Date:   Wed Aug 8 15:41:40 2018 -0400

    Detect broken stdatomic.h, and pretend that it isn't there at all
    
    I hope that the debian clang maintainers will look at debian bug
    903709 soon. But until they do, this should keep our users and our
    CI happy on sid with clang.
    
    Closes ticket 26779.
