No.  It is perfectly reasonable to have an implementation which takes a
copy of the atexit handlers when the exit() function is entered and then
work on that copy.  New additions won't be seen.  There is no reason to
give programmers with questionable (at best) code reason to demand that
implementations are more complex than they are already.
