Rich Felker 4ffa706899 fix vector types in aarch64 register file structures
the ABI type for the vector registers in fpregset_t, struct
fpsimd_context, and struct user_fpsimd_struct is __uint128_t, which
was presumably originally not used because it's a nonstandard type,
but its existence is mandated by the aarch64 psABI. use of the wrong
type here broke software using these structures, and encouraged
incorrect fixes with casts rather than reinterpretation of
representation.

    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:
