why does go need support from libc?

it has its own runtime and libraries on raw syscalls

what does a no_split_stack function do when it runs out of stack?

most functions in musl may be run before pthread_self_init
(it runs on demand when a pthread function is used)

what's the use of split stack if some functions may not work with it?
