applications to fix the wrong assumption. Inconsistent means
applications compile and run but silently (in sense of not producing
an error at build and/or run time) do the wrong thing on some systems.
One of the main criteria for exclusion of an extension from musl is
the existence of multiple conflicting historical definitions for the
same extension.
