Rich Felker 844212d94f make nl_langinfo(CODESET) always return "UTF-8" 
this restores the original behavior prior to the addition of the
byte-based C locale and fixes what is effectively a regression in
musl's property of always providing working UTF-8 support.

commit 1507ebf837 introduced the codeset
name "UTF-8-CODE-UNITS" for the byte-based C locale to represent that
the semantic content is UTF-8 but that it is being processed as code
units (bytes) rather than whole multibyte characters. however, many
programs assume that the codeset name is usable with iconv and/or
comes from a set of standard/widely-used names known to the
application. such programs are likely to produce warnings or errors,
run with reduced functionality, or mangle character data when run
explicitly in the C locale.

the standard places basically no requirements for the string returned
by nl_langinfo(CODESET) and how it interacts with other interfaces, so
returning "UTF-8" is permissible. moreover, it seems like the right
thing to do, since the identity of the character encoding as "UTF-8"
is independent of whether it is being processed as bytes of characters
by the standard library functions.

    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
