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

Rich Felker 63bcda4d8f adjust makefile to make crt/ and ldso/ sources arch-replaceable
prior to commit 2f853dd6b9 which
overhauled the makefile for out-of-tree builds, crt/*.c files were
replaceable by crt/$(ARCH)/*.s, and top-level ldso/ did not exist (its
files were under src/ldso). since then, crti.o and crtn.o have been
hard-coded as arch-specific, but none of the other files in crt/ or
ldso/ were replaceable at all.

in preparation for easy integration with midipix, which has a port of
musl to windows, it needs to be possible to override the ELF-specific
code in these files. making the same arch-replacements system work
throughout the whole source tree also improves consistency and removes
the need for some file-specific rules (crti.o and crtn.o) in the
makefile.

    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:
