readelf -lW libalgorithm.so
...
  GNU_STACK      0x000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x000000 0x000000 RWE 0x10

musl does not support executable stack, but gcc implements
nested functions via an on-stack trampolines that requires
executable stack.

i don't think there is a compiler flag to fix this, you
have to change the code.
