Hi Matthias,
I've been working on bootstrapping a musl-based port for a while now and
think that some patches are sufficiently stable that they can go
upstream already. One of the obstacles here is the strange naming of
musl packages. The C library is just called "musl" and the development
package is called "musl-dev". Neither the naming nor the versioning
matches glibc, so the resulting packages are not installable. I am
attaching a patch that updates $(LIBC_DEP), $(libc_ver) and
$(libc_dev_ver) to match musl. Please consider applying it.
Other than this patch not much is missing for musl support. As far as I
can see, a gcc upstream change to src/libstdc++-v3/configure.host is
still trickling down and the hard-float detection is broken for musl.
Neither of which are subject of this bug. I just list those here to get
you an impression of how much is missing.
Helmut
