Rich Felker 972b5fde9a revert mips (32-bit, o32) syscall asm clean-up due to regressions
exactly revert commit 604f8d3d8b which
was wrong; it caused a major regression on Linux versions prior to
2.6.36. old kernels did not properly preserve r2 across syscall
restart, and instead restarted with the instruction right before
syscall, imposing a contract that the previous instruction must load
r2 from an immediate or a register (or memory) not clobbered by the
syscall.

    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:
