You can build the X libraries against musl; you might want to pass
--target=i486-linux-gnu since autoconf sometimes thinks it's dealing with libc5.
FYI, there is a project called tinyxlib based on a mix of work from xwoaf, Amigo Linux, one or two Puppy developers, and some other sources; I have a git repo for working on it at
github.com/idunham/tinyxlib
It's not full-featured or complete, but there's enough to build several applications, it's small, and it only takes a couple minutes to build the commonly-used libs, so you might be interestin in trying it. Edit standard_definitions.mk to suit your site.
Of course, you will need a C++ compiler to do anything with FLTK.
X is called a "server" for a reason: assuming you don't have incompatible extensions, you can use any x server and any application you want as long as they can connect. For example, you can:
-run musl and libc5 X apps with glibc X servers
-have IRIX, BSD, or Solaris apps running remotely and displaying locally on a glibc-based Linux system
