Maybe for the most basic applications without dependencies because even linking with libc will be tricky. For LilyPond, we're talking quite a number of dependencies where some (for example glib2) link against macOS frameworks. How would that ever work? Feel free to prove me wrong, but that requires some code demonstration - repeatedly making the same claim whenever the discussion comes up doesn't bring us forward.
