(As an aside, perhaps we should prepare some "powered by > musl" etc. "button" graphics that websites can display.) I find it useful as individual and professional, but of course the decisions to promote it are only up to me as an individual. For anything else I must ask. > No, this is actually an FAQ topic. :-) > > http://wiki.musl-libc.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_why_is_there_no_MUSL_macro_.3F I know about this one. I read this somewhere on some mailing list before, when I was searching for Clang support and found that there was some mentioning of this fact in the glibc or GCC community, don't remember exactly. Either way, I was first astonished, but after a second thought it made perfect sense. Conform to the standards and you needn't provide crutches. I guess I'll simply define something on the command line for musl-libc builds. Currently they are only an option, but eventually they're meant to replace the glibc ones. Thanks, // Oliver
