This happened because you're not just using the musl-gcc wrapper
script, but passing -nostdinc and -I to get the system headers.
Instead either configure for the right include path so you don't need
to do this, or use -isystem instead of -I.

If you dynamic link, the dynamic linker ("ELF interpreter") has to be
present at runtime. Your options are:

1. Install it in /lib as above.
2. Static link.
3. Explicitly invoke it from another location to run the program:
   /path/to/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 ./split_buff ...
4. Configure musl with a different --syslibdir. Note that if you do
   this, programs you link will only work with ld-musl installed in
   the location you have it on your system, and won't be portable to
   standard musl-based systems.

I would recommend option 1 if it's your own system and you can, option
2 or 3 for something you need to ship (you can wrap option 3 with a
script), and option 4 if this is just for testing or personal use (not
shipping) on a system you don't have root on.
