a simple fix for that in musl is

	void *(calloc)(size_t, size_t);

or

	#define CPU_ALLOC(n) __cpu_alloc(n)
	static __inline cpu_set_t *__cpu_alloc(size_t _n)
	{
		extern void *(calloc)(size_t,size_t);
		return (calloc)(1,CPU_ALLOC_SIZE(_n));
	}

which almost gets the namespace right: only a non-function like
calloc macro defined before sched.h would be an issue

getting the namespace completely right would need a new extern
identifier in musl that aliases or wraps calloc

but _GNU_SOURCE has no well defined namespace requirement
so it is hard to justify workarounds that spill over into
other parts of the libc
