musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
a conservative estimate of 4*sizeof(size_t) was used as the minimum alignment for thread-local storage, despite the only requirements being alignment suitable for struct pthread and void* (which struct pthread already contains). additional alignment required by the application or libraries is encoded in their headers and is already applied. over-alignment prevented the builtin_tls array from ever being used in dynamic-linked programs on 64-bit archs, thereby requiring allocation at startup even in programs with no TLS of their own. |

WHATSNEW |
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: http://www.musl-libc.org/
