musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems

Rich Felker bdad2fefb2 add support for ipv6 scope_id to getaddrinfo and getnameinfo
for all address types, a scope_id specified as a decimal value is
accepted. for addresses with link-local scope, a string containing the
interface name is also accepted.

some changes are made to error handling to avoid unwanted fallbacks in
the case where the scope_id is invalid: if an earlier name lookup
backend fails with an error rather than simply "0 results", this
failure now suppresses any later attempts with other backends.

in getnameinfo, a light "itoa" type function is added for generating
decimal scope_id results, and decimal port strings for services are
also generated using this function now so as not to pull in the
dependency on snprintf.

in netdb.h, a definition for the NI_NUMERICSCOPE flag is added. this
is required by POSIX (it was previously missing) and needed to allow
callers to suppress interface-name lookups.

    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 1.0 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:
