Indeed, this sounds like nothing but "Pointy Hair Linux" conformance,
which I think we can do without. Trying to meet these requirements is
akin to ISO C adding Annex K and other junk to make Microsoft happy.
They knew there was no hope of Microsoft actually adopting the C
standard, so why even bother trying to make them happy? Similarly,
"Pointy Hair Linux" is not adopting musl anytime soon, so worrying
about conforming to their silly requirements seems like a waste of
time and energy...
