undefined reference to __atomic_load_4 when compiling the agb crate

[Lymia]

If you try to compile the agb crate with just build-roms, it fails with the following error:

+ cargo build --release --target thumbv4t-none-eabi
   Compiling the-purple-night v0.1.0 (/home/aino/data/projects/crates/agb/examples/the-purple-night)

This seems to be a regression from nightly-2022-08-12 to nightly-2022-08-13, and my best guess for the change that caused it is this pull request: #99464

Filed #100621 to fix this.
FYI, a short-term workaround is to enable the atomics-32 target feature (-C target-feature=+atomics-32).

This is seen cross-compiling from Linux to Windows. Giant 1MB linker error message related to atomic_load, only in release mode, for target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu. Failing in rustc 1.67.1 stable. Currently asking for help comments; will file an issue in a day or two if nobody reports a known fix.

@John-Nagle
Since native atomic ops exist in x86_64, I don't believe this and #92897 are related to your problem.

Given that rend3 has enabled thin LTO, your problem may be related to #98302.
