you mean i have to send a bug report to GCC maintainers? i its part if 
the libgcc sourcecode and is not provided by libgcc, but just referenced
i checked uclibc and glibc. both define __write as alias for write just 
because of libgcc

so lets declare musl as broken on arm if gcc is used, if this is a 
solution for you :-)
