The idea is to have something (more precisely a script) which is intented specifically for gentoo (not all linux variants; not that the pull is to the gentoo/musl repo btw). Once that's ready, a binary can be made. Speaking for our own distro, it can be used on the optional usb stick (https://github.com/Sharrisii/TAZ_optional_usb_stick/tree/master/binaries ). I assume these binaries can then also be shared and used with non-gentoo based linux versions (if generic compiler flags are used, which is also the idea). Interested people can work on improving the files in the pull (https://github.com/gentoo/musl/pull/296 ) and then having these improvements added to the pull. Adelie's firefox-esr version is 68.5.0, jakeogh's version (in pull) is v.41 so Adelie's version is indeed newer. Current is v73, so still needs to be improved it further. So yes, you could already switch this in the pull. The binary I used of Adelie (v52.9.0-r4, back in June 2019) didn't work, and wasn't optimized for i686 cpu's (and also, Adelie linux is based on abuild system rather then gentoo's portage system), so I am somewhat cautious. That said, if the script is worked out further, there may be no issues.
