While it can be used to build a complete small +Linux system (musl is self-hosted on the system I use to develop it), +at this point doing so requires a lot of manual effort. Nonetheless, I +hope low-level Linux enthusiasts will try out building some compact +static binaries with musl using the provided gcc wrapper (which allows +you to link programs with musl on a "standard" glibc Linux system), +find whatever embarassing bugs I've let slip through, and provide +feedback on issues encountered building various software against musl. + +Please visit #musl on Freenode IRC or contact me via email at dalias +AT etalabs DOT net for bug reports, support requests, or to get +involved in development. As this has been a one-person project so far, +mailing lists will be setup in due time on an as-needed basis. + +Thank you for trying out musl. + +Cheers, + +Rich Felker / dalias + + |
