Hello!


Thanks a lot for this information. I will try to build chicken with
musl, but perhaps you can help me getting started. I was able to build
and install musl without problems, but what must
"/etc/ld-musl-ARCH.path" contain to link and execute compiled code
properly? I have not created that file, yet, and linking a trivial
program gives me:

/home/felix/opt/musl/lib/libc.so: undefined reference to 
`__stack_chk_fail_local'


cheers,
