Rich Felker b3516058eb for executing init array functions, use function type with prototype
this is for consistency with the way it's done in in the dynamic
linker, avoiding a deprecated C feature (non-prototype function
types), and improving code generation. GCC unnecessarily uses the
variadic calling convention (e.g. clearing rax on x86_64) when making
a call where the argument types are not known for compatibility with
wrong code which calls variadic functions this way. (C on the other
hand is clear that such calls have undefined behavior.)

    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:
