Do they use a third party support lib?

If it's possible to support use cases with a third party lib, then I'm less
concerned - provided that that lib also works with musl. Given the nature
of ucontext, that may not be so. A musl native solution would be optimal
for performance - and performance is a common reason for going down this
route. It allows for far greater scale in certain server designs then
either thread-per-connection or a thread-pool can do.

Out of interest, how many packages are in the OpenBSD repository? How does
it compare to Debian's, say? For me, Debian's repo contents is a yardstick
of what Linux + Musl could be expected to work with.
