This is a solution to #863
The ponyrt needs to be compiled with the flag -latomic as well as every encore project needs to be linked with said flag.

NOTE: This should be tested on multiple devices before acceptance

Ubuntu 17.10
gcc (Ubuntu 7.2.0-8ubuntu3.2) 7.2.0
clang version 4.0.1-6 (tags/RELEASE_401/final)

I can confirm that this works. Can someone check backwards compatibility on a old GCC?

Alternative option: only support clang. Thoughts?

Can confirm that this compiles on my machine (running clang 700.1.81 on MacOSX 10.10.5). I don't have GCC installed.

EDIT: I cannot actually compile Encore programs in this build:

ld: library not found for -latomic

Alternative option: only support clang. Thoughts?

I'm fine with only supporting clang. Would we be excluding any platforms doing that?

#864

It's OK to assume none until the real need appears.

Given the merge of #864, clean clone should work on linux with clang installed. Could someone else with a linux box confirm it?
