The intent is to provide a build script that builds a musl environment
that one could then use to build other build scripts in the repository
(James B's description was good). I'm trying to get some anecdata on
what the people who mentioned being interested in a musl build script
want (cross toolchain vs. gcc wrapper with some environment setup vs.
just the library itself).

The point of making a build script in the trivial case is that it
integrates it (in a predictable way) with slackware's package
management/file finding system ("where did I put the cross-x86 version's
files again?", etc.).
