musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
Go to file
Rich Felker 2d49c2243f follow standard configure behavior for cross compile prefix
the standard configure interface, which our configure script tries to
implement, identifies cross compiling (build != host) and searches for
the properly-prefixed cross tools. our script was not doing that,
forcing users to explicitly provide either CC or a CROSS_COMPILE tool
prefix, and the more common choice, just providing CC, was incomplete
because the Makefile would still invoke the native ar and ranlib
programs. this happened to work when building on ELF-based systems
with GNU binutils, but could easily fail when cross-compiling from
dissimilar systems.

like before, and like the standard configure behavior, an explicit CC
or CROSS_COMPILE variable on the command line or in the environment
overrides the automatic prefixing.

    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:
