That's not what's needed to get the package itself into the tree.... I know the obstacles one has with musl, from Gentoo. So if it builds, and at least one package compiles with it, that's enough to be honest. There will be one hell of a roadtrip if you intend to fix EVERYTHING for musl to be satisfied enough to get it into master. --
