I'm not subscribed to the mailing list, please CC me on replies. Installed symlinks (specifically ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 have permissions 0700 on MacOS, which means only the owner (typically root) can read them. Symlink permissions can't be anything but 0777 on Linux, but on Mac they can be set, and in this case are being inherited from the 077 umask in install.sh: ``` $ ls -l /nix/store/fgkznmnz1swzp8ck75fa2zvj62pkjgvq-musl-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl-1.2.3/lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 ls: cannot read symbolic link '/nix/store/fgkznmnz1swzp8ck75fa2zvj62pkjgvq-musl-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl-1.2.3/lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1': Permission denied lrwx------ 1 root wheel 7 Jan 1 1970 /nix/store/fgkznmnz1swzp8ck75fa2zvj62pkjgvq-musl-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl-1.2.3/lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 ``` My fix (attached) is to use `umask 022`, which was already being used to make directories. It's not practical to fix this by specifying the intended permissions for this symlink, as setting link permissions requires the nonstandard `-h` chmod flag, which presumably fails on other platforms. First discovered when cross-building on MacOS for linux: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/285141 I've tested the fix works in nix. I am fairly confident the same issue exists outside of Nix given the fix, but I haven't built musl before and ran into unrelated errors. Thanks, - Tim
