Won't build with -fvisibility=protected:
/opt/musl/bin/ld: src/ldso/dynlink.lo: relocation R_386_GOTOFF against
protected function `_dl_debug_state' can not be used when making a
shared object
/opt/musl/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2:ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [lib/libc.so] Error 1
Due to some sort of memory lapse, I also tried -fvisibility=hidden. As
might be expected, this did not work (segfault).
-fPIE does not work (Illegal instruction)
I guess I have to see if I can coerce autoconf into working properly.
I have makeinfo installed, but the check in binutils-2.17.50-x doesn't
recognize it...

He said it was on his todo list (in the 50's)...which AFAIK means "maybe
in a year or two, if that soon".
