I'm not sure if there is a way to warn properly at compile time for that
specific usage.

IMHO going with 2+3 is the only safe way to grant musl more support

Having a flag to turn those compatibility hacks off would be good.

I wonder why in the hell C++ can't use the (void *) 0 definition or
equivalent.
