Hey Justin,

thanks for the swift response, found it in the Wiki now thanks to your
pointer:

> Musl is built on the Linux syscall layer. Linux kernel >=2.6.39 is
> necessary for POSIX conformant behaviour, older kernels will work
> with varying degrees of non-conformance, 2.4 kernels will only work
> for simple single-threaded applications.


I had mistakenly expected it under

  <http://wiki.musl-libc.org/wiki/Compatibility>

when it was of course to be found under:

  <http://wiki.musl-libc.org/wiki/Supported_Platforms>

Thanks,

// Oliver
