I'm porting libvirt to Buildroot (
https://buildroot.org/) as a pet
project and musl is one of the supported C libraries. This was the
only compilation error I found with musl.
So far all my run-time tests pass without failure but I'm enabling a
very limited number of features. Other problems may arise as I enable
and test more features.
I'm testing with uClibc-ng too. I will keep you informed about the progress.
FYI, we currently use GNULIB which papers over portability issues in a
lot of cases. We're working to eliminate it, however, using GLib for
portability, but in doing this there's a strong risk we'll make mistakes
and break things that formerly worked on platforms that we don't have
CI coverage for.
So don't be surprised if you find new problems introduced over the next
few months. We're happy to see patches / bug reports of course.
Regards,
Daniel
