I don't understand what you mean by it "breaks cross compilation". The
ldso link produced is not used for compiling anything; it's only used
for executing programs, which you don't do when cross compiling musl
or cross compiling applications against it. The link is setup to be
installed on the $host, not to be used on the $build where it's not
needed.

Could you could explain what specifically you're trying to do that's
not working as desired?
