No practical issue. I just stumbled across this part of the spec while
trying to determine if some of gcc's output on SH4 was conforming or
not.
Is the differences in the level of conformance on the different
architectures documented anywhere? The "Introduction to musl" page on
the website states that "minimal machine-specific code means less change
of breakage on minority architectures and better success with 'write
once run everywhere' C development". It would probably be worthwhile to
document known exceptions to that when they exist.
