musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
Go to file
Rich Felker f9b8df464d add ssp suppression to some arch-override files that may need it
these were not covered by the parent-level rules with the new build
system. in the old build system, the equivalent files were often in
arch/$(ARCH)/src and likewise lacked the suppression. this could lead
to early crashing (before thread pointer init) when libc itself was
built with stack protector enabled.

    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
