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

Rich Felker dcb18bea61 implement inline 5- and 6-argument syscalls for mips
the OABI passes these on the stack, using the convention that their
position on the stack is as if the first four arguments (in registers)
also had stack slots. originally this was deemed too awkward to do
inline, falling back to external __syscall, but it's not that bad and
now that external __syscall is being removed, it's necessary.

    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:
