I would suggest mutual adoption of the needs with what exists and
with what you can actually handle (easily).

Probably something basic could be made up even without any changes
to TCC itself:

    #define atomic_load(o) \
        (typeof(*o)) __atomic_load_impl(o, sizeof *o, __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST)

    long long __atomic_load_impl(void *o, int s, int mm)
    {
        switch (s) {
        case 1: ...
        case 2: ...
        case 4: ...
        case 8: ...
