Gcc is dying with /bin/bash i686-linux-musl-gcc command not found about
half to 3/4 way through build.  I know this is not enough info to help
diagnose the issue but unlike errors during config, its not pointing me to
a compile error log. I will be more than happy to provide anything you need
just let me know what that is.

thanks for your help.
