I don't think that would be an issue:

$ ls -l libm.a
-rw-r--r--    1 dalias   users            8 Apr 17 13:18 libm.a

This line is actually more troubling and suggests to be that your
installation of musl is broken (it's not linking crt1.o).

Not sure what's happening here; why not add -v to the command line so
gcc shows you the actual commands it's passing to the compiler (cc1)
and linker (collect2/ld)?

Actually, there's one other line that looks odd; I'll repeat it here:

> musl-gcc -shared -o libiw.so.30 -Wl,-soname,libiw.so.30  -lm -lc iwlib.so

Having only libraries (-lm -lc iwlib.so) as input for the linker makes
no sense. Can you tell what they're trying to do? I'm doubtful that
even the package authors knew what they were trying to do here. If
it's possible to build this package static-linked (or at least with
none of its own .so files) that would be a much smarter approach).
