Subject: Re: [Clfs-dev] CLFS embedded book switches to musl-libc

Hi Andrew,

So far so good! Very interesting that you passed to musl and I'm happy
to start playing with it!

Couple of question about Manual:
You refer to glibc [1] should you replace that glibc with musl libc or
glibc(musl) our simply libc?

For the musl installation [2], the make install have an error that
seem to be fix with the next command you propose:

./tools/install.sh -D -m 644 lib/crt1.o
/mnt/clfs/cross-tools/armv7a-unknown-linux-musleabi/lib/crt1.o

So when you describe symlink is it releated to this error:

ln -s libc.so ${CLFS}/cross-tools/${CLFS_TARGET}/ld-musl-arm.so.1

Should this be replace by this and be put in the lib folder?:

ln -s ${CLFS}/cross-tools/${CLFS_TARGET}/lib/libc.so
${CLFS}/cross-tools/${CLFS_TARGET}/lib/ld-musl-arm.so.1

Should we not simply create patch for Makefile as something like that?:

I'm currently cross compiling busybox if I see something else I will
keep you updated!
