That would be aboriginal linux, and it worked for me last I checked...

Hmmm, looks like my wrapper is overriding the musl one. Actually that  
makes sense, mine is designed to be a Very Large Hammer. Let's see...

# REALGCC=/usr/tools/bin/rawcc ./musl-gcc /usr/src/thread-hello2.c  
-lpthread

Nope, then it can't find cc1.

# PATH=$PATH:/usr/tools/bin REALGCC=rawcc ./musl-gcc  
/usr/src/thread-hello2.c -lpthread
ld: crtbegin.o: No such file: No such file or directory

Sigh. There's a _reason_ I'm rewriting my wrapper to be musl-aware...

Jens: lemme get back to you this weekend, ok?

Alas, gcc wrappers are _hard_...
