Subject: Busybox hwclock failing to build with musl RISC-V 32-bit:
 SYS_settimeofday undefined

Hello,

The recently released musl 1.2.5 includes 32-bit RISC-V support. Turns
out that building Busybox 1.36.1 with this new musl version, on 32-bit
RISC-V, fails with:

util-linux/hwclock.c: In function 'set_kernel_tz':
util-linux/hwclock.c:142:27: error: 'SYS_settimeofday' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'xsettimeofday'?
  142 |         int ret = syscall(SYS_settimeofday, NULL, tz);
      |                           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |                           xsettimeofday
util-linux/hwclock.c:142:27: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

Busybox already includes some slightly convoluted sorcery to deal with
musl:

static void set_kernel_tz(const struct timezone *tz)
{
#if LIBC_IS_MUSL
	/* musl libc does not pass tz argument to syscall
	 * because "it's deprecated by POSIX, therefore it's fine
	 * if we gratuitously break stuff" :(
	 */
#if !defined(SYS_settimeofday) && defined(SYS_settimeofday_time32)
# define SYS_settimeofday SYS_settimeofday_time32
#endif
	int ret = syscall(SYS_settimeofday, NULL, tz);
#else
	int ret = settimeofday(NULL, tz);
#endif
	if (ret)
		bb_simple_perror_msg_and_die("settimeofday");
}

I am not sure whether this is a Busybox problem or a musl problem,
which is why I'm cross-posting on both mailing lists.

Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback,

Thomas
