Please remove it. It's not world-ending to ask people to relink;
programs known to require the broken functionality can run against an
older version of musl until they're repaired. If you start enshrining
mistakes now you're just driving down glibc avenue. I'd rather have
musl be a correct libc than a quirky libc.
