Rich Felker dac4fc49ae fix signedness of UINT32_MAX and UINT64_MAX at the preprocessor level
per the rules for hexadecimal integer constants, the previous
definitions were correctly treated as having unsigned type except
possibly when used in preprocessor conditionals, where all artithmetic
takes place as intmax_t or uintmax_t. the explicit 'u' suffix ensures
that they are treated as unsigned in all contexts.

    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:
