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.

since patching with the recommended patch (the one i had wasnt a full patch
apparently) i have been able to use this option --host=i686-linux-musl
however now when i compile i run into new issues.

Firstly gmp, mpfr, and mpc do not like this flag obviously since they do
not have the musl settings patched in so i cant compile with the musl
wrapper because i cannot include those math libraries and when i try to
prebuild them and use the flag --with-mpfr=/target/location it errors out
saying it cant find any compatible versions of these libs/headers.

Overriding the host is really only necessary for a few programs like gcc. Most
will work fine with musl, even though they detect your system as "i686-pc-linux-gnu".
That said, if you want to use --host on all of your programs, all you need is a
patch like the one here[0]. There are four or five different variations of the patch
though, depending on what version/configuration of autotools the project uses.
