libatomic is missing on macOS Mojave 10.14.2 - mongodb

Question

Trying to build mongodb 4.1.6 (the latest) from source on macOS Mojave (10.14.2) is giving configuration error. Some libatomic is missing. I tried searching for the solution on the web but none has worked so far.
Solution that looked most promising was from here: Can't compile C program on a Mac after upgrade to Mojave
But it didn't solve my problem either.
Here is the configuration outout:

Any suggestion would be helpful.

Answer 1

The problem was not with libatomic at all. The error was coming because of this issue ld: warning: text-based stub file are out of sync. Falling back to library file for linking
Fix:
$ rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
$ xcode-select --install
and then executing this script: https://gist.github.com/karololszacki/dec8fd80b20e081b0e91a6bbd639c8fe
