Yes. I'm still not clear though on whether the intent is to provide an environment for musl-[dynamic-]linked programs running on Slackware, or more for a development environment using the musl-gcc wrapper. This might affect the stability requirements. Of course if it's just a development environment using the wrapper, there may not be a lot of point in packaging that since you already need a compiler to use it, and with a compiler you can build musl (whichever version you want) in a matter of seconds on a modern workstation.
