+Fix building the ``_testcapi`` extension on Linux AArch64 which requires
+linking to libatomic when ``<cpython/pyatomic.h>`` is used: the
+``_Py_atomic_or_uint64()`` function requires libatomic
+``__atomic_fetch_or_8()`` on this platform. The configure script now checks
+if linking to libatomic is needed and generates a new LIBATOMIC variable
+used to build the _testcapi extension. Patch by Victor Stinner.
