See lines 77-79 of the musl-cross patch. When you set your triple to 
i686-linux-musl instead of i686-linux-gnu, it sets musl as the default 
linker. You didn't, so it defaults to glibc, but you can still tell it 
to use musl manually, either by putting -mmusl in CFLAGS or the command 
line, or by editing the specs file, like the musl-gcc wrapper does.

Once you get it working, though, I recommend recompiling gcc with 
--host=i686-linux-musl
