No problem. Also note that, if you are building compilers, you can
pause in the middle to build & install the musl headers; the
musl-cross-make repo has an example of how to do this with gcc, which
is roughly:
1. GCC: make all-gcc
2. musl: configure (using xgcc) and make install-headers
3. GCC: make all-target-libgcc with disable_shared forced
4. musl: make, make install to build sysroot
5. GCC: make all
