Thanks a lot. This *enormously* simplifies things.

(It's not yet clear to me what "the latest" means at this moment as it's still totally confusing to me and we didn't configure the other builders yet either. Luigi sent me a relatively confusing message about which branch should be used.) - It would help to have a simple patch for http://distribution.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh to correctly detect the platform - I would copy the TL binaries from you for now and later take them from the subversion repository (I assume that would happen once the updates are frozen). > Hans might be interested in detecting musl libc automatically, which I have > recently merged into GNU autotools: > https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/commit/?id=3d00f60242f1726fc6eaa38e09435a969ee7ebe5 > It uses ldd to detect whether musl is used because ldd prints "musl libc" to > stderr. > https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/ldso/dynlink.c#n1538 That's something which I still believe should be somehow "hardcoded" into LuaTeX itself, so that LuaTeX itself would be aware of which platform it was compiled for. At the moment part of detection happens in mtxrun, but that's somewhat strange.
