There's no `atoll' in the library.  stdlib.h is in error, but you
shouldn't use the headers as the evidence of presence or absence of
library functions, anyway.  That's what the library docs is for.

I suggest to use `strtoll' or `strtoull' instead.  (In fact, I suggest
to use the `strto*' family instead of the `ato*' family for any type
of conversion.)
