Hi, excuse me for the bad English... Do you want porting the musl to which
RISC computer: for ekzample "Banana Pi", or...?

> * At D'Youville College I've been guided by the tutelage of Dr. Basile
>   (blueness at gentoo.org), who has exposed me to my passion for
> system-level
>   development including but not limited to C standard libraries and
> system building.
> * I've been working with Linux for five years and Gentoo Linux in
> particular
>   for three of those five years. This has given me a greater
> understanding of
>   Linux internals and its underlying beauties.
> * I have successfully completed two GSoCs. After my first GSoC I worked
> with
>   blueness and became a Gentoo developer.
> * I'm familiar with open-source development including version control
> systems
>   systems (git and CVS), bug reports, submitting patches via bug reports or
>   email, and test suites.
> * My strongest programming languages are Python, C, and C++, in that order.
> * I have taken a class dedicated solely to Linux system programming and I'm
>   familiar with POSIX, XOPEN, SUSv3 and SUSv4 standards. The text we used
> is
>   "The Linux Programming Interface" by Michael Kerrisk.
> * I have worked with x86, and mips assembly code but I'd be lying if I
> said I
>   remember most of it. However, I am quite capable of getting back on the
>   proverbial assembly horse.

> I've already discussed with Dr Basile my interest in this project and he

> he'd be willing to work with me through the summer as well since he
> integrated musl into Gentoo.
>
> As of last night I was working on setting up a build environment for this
> project and have successfully built the tool-chain for riscv64 and the rest
> of the tool suite with instruction provided here:

> Hopefully I'll have this opportunity to work on porting the musl C
> library to
> new ground in the form of the RISC-V architecture.
