you're right and I admire how steadfast you are in your resolve.

Initially I desired to have this myself so that I could give attribution
within the program depending on whether it was built with musl-libc or
another libc. Right now I have simple used a define on the command line
to tell whether it's a build with musl-libc or not.

Also, I don't think the proposed solution is very elegant. In this case
it'd be better to pass parameters using the specs file, no?
