Hey,
I'll update bundled GC before next release. One of the valid scenarios
where bundling GC with ECL makes sense is static linking (and ECL
supports that – when GC is bundled it is statically linked and none of
its symbols are exported). I've also found it handy, when I was buidling
ECL on NetBSD, which shipped only non-threaded build of bdwgc.
Note, that ECL first looks for system GC and if it can be used – it is.
Regards,
Daniel

The bundled GC is too old; it's not working in the embedded ECL
situation on FreeBSD (see https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/issues/180
for a very fresh fix to this), or in at least one dynamic C library
case on OSX I know about (see https://github.com/miguelmarco/libhomfly).
In general, I don't see the value of bundling with ECL an old snapshot
of a relatively popular and actively maintained library.
(removing it is trivial - there is one script from bdwgc/ that is
used, and should be copied, the rest can go...)
Just my 0.02c.

Hey,
your problem is related to bundled libgc. We have some
conditionalization for musl, so I'm sure it worked in the past.
I'd suggest trying to install libgc from alpine repositories and
build ECL against that libgc. If Alpine doesn't have libgc in the
repositories, I'd try building upstream bdwgc and linking ECL with
it. If it doesn't build, report a bug on bdwgc project, if it does
– please let us know here so we'll update bundled libgc to the
working version.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hello,
I am attempting to package ecl for alpine linux and I am having
troubles compiling against musl.
Building ecl_min...
.//libeclgc.a(mach_dep.o): In function `GC_with_callee_saves_pushed':
/root/ecl-16.1.3/src/bdwgc/mach_dep.c:245: undefined reference to
`getcontext'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [Makefile:224: ecl_min] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/ecl-16.1.3/build'
make: *** [Makefile:72: all] Error 2
I tried `make CFLAGS='-DNO_GETCONTEXT'` but that did not work
either.
Has anyone successfully built ecl using musl?
