I suppose you are right,

C program use appropriate header files that provide inline functions for 
atomic. Same are "flavor-architecture specific", providing different 
algorithms (with some sub-archs supported by Kernel tricks) to allow for 
atomicness. When compiling an so library it can use the appropriate 
header file (e.g. to do Futex).

Seemingly, to take advantage from this we could use libc to use  Futex 
("pthread_mutex()"). But for static atomic functions the sub-arch needs 
to be known when compiling.
