With my official distro hat on, I can say that we have no preference:
[quoting system/musl/APKBUILD]
# replaced by utmps - don't allow apps to sneak use of no-ops
rm "$pkgdir"/usr/include/utmp.h
rm "$pkgdir"/usr/include/utmpx.h
With my official distro hat off, I don't know if musl is trying to be
compatible with glibc ABI here as well. If so, you should see what
they're doing to the layout of the utmp structure, because most apps
will write the structure directly to the disk.
Best,
