It's a good idea, didn't though about it :-)

Definitely I can be able to use Node.js child_process module to launch
libc.so, I'll try it :-)

It's just a Node.js REPL, so no debug tools here (at least, no C ones,
like GDB), but knowing that src/ldso/dynlink.c has the code of the
dynamic linker, add some debug printf's seems a good idea, I believe
although it's in the boot process it should write some output to the
console...

It's shown as a dependency of libstdc++.so both by ldd and readelf -d.
Maybe could this be the issue? Both libstdc++.so & libgcc_s.so are
compiled against musl...

Or CLFS, or gcc, but it's something curious because before the
compilation of libstdc++.so & libgcc_s.so against musl the symbolic
link is there, and after compile them the symbolic link has
dissapear... It doesn't makes sense... :-/

In my case is deterministic, allways happens on the libstdc++.so &
libgcc_s.so generation step (more exactly, the make install on the
cross-toolchain directory), checked by doing them by hand :-/
