Subject: RE: strtok
I see! Thank you.
We know fdpic. I guess we need to compile gcc toolchain with fdpic for this MCU. We tried that, no success :) I am afraid we are not experienced enough to make it right. We don't even know how the resulting gcc should be named - arm-our_os-eabi? :)
Could you pls point us to some literature - what to read to do it? And to connect it to musl the right way?
Thank you.

If multiple programs are running, each needs its own execution context
including its own versions of all libc (and any other) global data.
Probably you should look into the ARM FDPIC ABI, which is the right
way to do this while still sharing program text for MMU-less
microcontrollers like the one you're working with. The tooling should
be mature now so that support could be added to musl, but making it
happen needs people who are interested in providing feedback and
testing.
