Rich Felker 7dad9c2125 fix musl-gcc wrapper to be compatible with default-pie gcc toolchains
the specfile for the wrapper was written assuming output is pie only
if -pie appears on the command line. recent (and older patched)
versions of gcc can be configured to produce pie output by default,
adn when used with such a toolchain, the wrapper linked the wrong
startfiles (crt*) containing pic-incompatible code.

rather than trying to figure out gcc's default, simply always use the
pic-compatible start files.

    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:
