notes by maintainer: commit2f853dd6b9added these rules because the new system for handling arch-provided replacement files introduced for out-of-tree builds did not apply to the crt tree. commit63bcda4d8flater adapted the makefile logic so that the crt and ldso trees go through the same replacement logic as everything else, but failed to remove the explicit rules that assumed the arch would always provide asm replacements. in addition to cleaning things up, removing these spurious rules allows crti/crtn asm to be omitted by an arch (thereby using the empty C files instead) if they are not needed.
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:
