undefined reference to '__atomic_*' in SCons but similar questions' solution won't work

I'm trying to build Godot with SCons. Everything was working fine until I've used std::atomic in my library my custom module uses (the library is working fine with a Qt application I've created to test it). Then this error happened:

[100%] Linking Program        ==> bin/godot.x11.tools.64
/usr/bin/ld: /home/sms/Code/_BUILDS/build-PyWally-Desktop-Release/libPyWally.so: undefined reference to `__atomic_store_16'
/usr/bin/ld: /home/sms/Code/_BUILDS/build-PyWally-Desktop-Release/libPyWally.so: undefined reference to `__atomic_load_16'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
scons: *** [bin/godot.x11.tools.64] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

I was googling around and found out about atomic/architecture problems, so I've added -march=native, -mtune=native and -latomic because I have modern x64 PC/system and it shoudn't be an issue... so my SCsub looks like this (wallycontroller being my custom module, and pywally - my library):

Import('env')

sources = [
    "wallycontroller.cpp",
    "wallycontroller.cpp",
    "register_types.cpp"
]

env.Append(CPPPATH=["/usr/include/python3.10"])
env.Append(LIBS=['python3.10'])
env.Append(CCFLAGS=['-march=native', '-mtune=native', '-latomic'])

env.Append(CPPPATH=["#bin/../../PyWallie"])
env.Append(LIBPATH=["#bin/../../../_BUILDS/build-PyWally-Desktop-Release"])
env.Append(LIBS=['PyWally'])

envw = env.Clone()
envw.Append(CCFLAGS=['-O2'])

if ARGUMENTS.get('wallycontroller_shared', 'no') == 'yes':
    envw.Append(CCFLAGS=['-fPIC'])
    envw['LIBS'] = []
    envw.Append(LIBS=['python3.10'])
    envw.Append(LIBS=['PyWally'])
    shared_lib = envw.SharedLibrary(target='#bin/../../godot_modules/wallycontroller', source=sources)
    shared_lib_shim = shared_lib[0].name.rsplit('.', 1)[0]
    env.Append(LIBS=[shared_lib_shim])
    env.Append(LIBPATH=['#bin'])
else:
    envw.add_source_files(env.modules_sources, sources)

And these are my SCons arguments on build:

platform = "x11"
tools = "yes"
target = "debug"
bits = 64
custom_modules = "../godot_modules"
use_lto = "yes"
walliecontroller_shared = "yes"
udev = "no"

Any issue wasn't happening for this configuration until I've add std::atomic but it's really convenient and I wouldn't want to remove it... any help will be appreciated.

To help you debug, try temporarily commenting out the setting of LINKCOMSTR (should be in methods.py) so that SCons can show you the whole link line - normally Godot tries to be "helpful" and emit shorter messages, but it doesn't help when you're getting something like a link failure. You'll probably notice that it's not linking with libatomic after all. In SCons, you actually need to add that library to LIBS (without the -l) to pass it to the linker.

A separate question is why it thinks it need it - I'm presuming the architecture you're building on has atomic support?
