As uclibc is increasingly aging, I am finally forced
to switch to musl: I'm bitten by a nasty bug in
getopt() - hush is using it in a slightly unusual way,
which uclibc does not expect.

I built a toolchain using
     https://github.com/richfelker/musl-cross-make
(Rich, is this the thing I should be using?)
and it worked with no issues at all.

(I can probably only wish for the README
to also mention how to make this a _static_
toolchain... I have a box with 32-bit userspace,
would be awesome to be able to copy this fresh
64-bit toolchain to it and have it working).

From time to time I am updating:

https://github.com/mschlenker/TinyCrossLinux

This might not be as clean as Rich Felkers Makefile collection, it uses the "classic" approach of building the compiler in two steps. It is extensively tested in x86_64 and i686, but not at all for other architectures. Comments are welcome.

Then I built busybox. Impressions:

Only a few options did not build:
EXTRA_COMPAT and FEATURE_VI_REGEX_SEARCH
failed because they need GNU regexp extensions.
FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS and FEATURE_INETD_RPC do not build
because they need rpc/rpc.h.
Not complaining, since them being in libc was a mistake
in the first place.

Now, the good news - musl has smaller data!
6695 bytes versus 7129 bytes for uclibc:

    text  data   bss     dec    hex filename
  894902   465  6664  902031  dc38f busybox.uclibc
  912538   563  6132  919233  e06c1 busybox.musl

Whee!
