GMP errors out with "invalid configuration 'non-pc-linux-musl' not
recognized. Im using the --target and --host flags i686-linux-musl and
--build i686-linux-gnu.  I also tried switching to a chroot musl env and
running a plain configure on gmp only and it complains the compiler cant
create executables which i know to be false.

Will GMP compile on a musl system?
Google search showed one other person with the issue but no answer.

thanks,
stephen
