This happens when a system header file includes <stdatomic.h>. QEMU's
"atomic.h" conflicts with <stdatomic.h> in that QEMU atomic variables do
not need to be declared _Atomic.

Please rerun the full clang command-line above from your meson build
directory with -E instead of -c. Then upload the
libqemuutil.a.p/util_async.c.o so we can see why stdatomic.h was
included.
