I'm really just trying to debug this getaddrinfo breakage on this older
hardware. The docker containers setup is something we use to build packages
for this hardware, and our frustration is that the software works perfectly
fine in the docker containers, but not on the hardware.

The only breakpoint which fixed the execution was for line 20 (which
invokes getaddrinfo). Stepping through the __kernel_vsyscall and then
continuing is the only way it does not result in failure.
Any later breakpoints fail.
I went though the other breakpoints as requested.
clock_gettime did not fire.
Breakpoint 1 at 0x5c2f7: file ../src_musl/compat/time32/clock_gettime32.c,
line 9.
__res_msend, setsockopt also did not fire.
The ones that did fire were: socket, bind, recvfrom, poll, __res_msend_rc,
memset, sendto, __get_resolv_conf, pthread_setcancelstate,
__pthread_setcancelstate, __lookup_serv, __lookup_name, memcpy
When breaking on socket, stepping through the __kernel_vsyscall call after
socket and then continuing succeeds.
Is it possible that the socket is not waiting long enough for a response
from __kernel_vsyscall? Has that changed?
Breaking, stepping, and continuing on every other function above fails.
The gdb log is attached.
