anyway ... musl doesn't have preadv2/pwritev2. i couldn't see any discussion on the mailing list, so i thought i'd ask whether this is just because no-one's got round to it yet, or there's some policy[2] i'm not aware of, or what? happy to send a patch if it's just a case of "we haven't got round to/had a need for it yet".

1. TL;DR: being able to statically link without worrying about licensing is very enticing, and gets us out of a lot of the compatibility issues we have that made our last glibc update more trouble than it was worth, and means i have no intention of getting us embroiled in another glibc update.
2. i've been maintaining bionic for years now, and don't think i've written down our policy explicitly. this was definitely a borderline case from the "number of users" perspective, but for me the "annoying to use with syscall(2)" tipped me over the edge into adding them. amusingly [or not, depending on how you feel about "bugs you get away with"], it also made me realize that our pread/pwrite implementations for LP64 were wrong in that they weren't zeroing the unused half of the register pair. so that was a bonus :-)
