I can't say conclusively that you can't make this work, but you really
don't want to do it this way. musl-gcc is for repurposing the host gcc
on a glibc-based system for "trying out" musl and making minimal
programs. It doesn't make sense to build a glibc-targeting cross
compiler then use musl-gcc to try to repurpose it. Just build a proper
musl-targeting cross-compiler.
However this probably isn't your problem.

I haven't used gdb remote with qemu so I'm not sure what to expect
here in terms of how it finds/loads the binary and dynamic linker
(does it do that over the remote interface or via the local fs?). If
you can enable more output from qemu or strace one or both of gdb and
qemu it might help figure out what's going on.
Hopefully someone else who's use gdb this way can offer more useful
help.
