musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems

Rich Felker 25e6fee27f remove LFS64 programming interfaces (macro-only) from _GNU_SOURCE
these badly pollute the namespace with macros whenever _GNU_SOURCE is
defined, which is always the case with g++, and especially tends to
interfere with C++ constructs.

as our implementation of these was macro-only, their removal cannot
affect any existing binaries. at the source level, portable software
should be prepared for them not to exist.

for now, they are left in place with explicit _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE.
this provides an easy temporary path for integrators/distributions to
get packages building again right away if they break while working on
a proper, upstreamable fix. the intent is that this be a very
short-term measure and that the macros be removed entirely in the next
release cycle.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
