Some people asked me recently about adding musl to Gentoo properly (as 
in `crossdev musl` and musl stage3) I'll review my old ebuild and look 
again at the few issues that prevented crossdev to work completely soon,
probably I'll have to ask you questions, surely would be nice if the 
result would let us have a Gentoo/musl 1.0 =)
