I've added this tidbit to the README:
Upgrading cross compilers
=========================
It is possible to upgrade the musl version in a musl-cross cross compiler
without rebuilding the entire cross compiler prefix from scratch. Simply
download and extract the new version of musl, then configure it like so:
./configure --prefix="<prefix>/<triple>" CC="<triple>-gcc"
Where "<prefix>" is the prefix the cross compiler root was
installed/extracted
to, and <triple> is the GNU-style target triple (e.g. i486-linux-microcosm).
No other changes are needed, upgrading is really quite trivial.
With valediction,
- Gregor Richards
