Which makes it easier to install uClibc and musl and bionic next to
each other? (You can have /lib/musl and /lib/uClibc and /lib/bionic for
most of the .so and .a files, but the dynamic linker is a hardwired
abspath in each binary and then the linker would be what searches the
more specific path...)

Real life continues to intrude into my schedule, but I'm slowly working
towards this. Until musl supports all the targets aboriginal does now,
I can't drop uClibc support, and klibc has some code I can start with
to get to "hello world" level...
