Has anyone compiled clockspeed against musl, in a x86_64?

If so, would you share conf-cc and conf-ld?

Thanks

I'm guessing you mean DJB's package, but the name is generic enough
that I can't be sure. Next time try to be more clear.

I just did as a test and it has some obvious issues like missing and
wrong prototypes for standard functions and "extern int errno;" rather
than #include <errno.h> (the latter is DJB's willfully wrong code to
make a point that he likes being wrong), but it compiled "ok" after
changing error.h. No idea if it works.

I didn't modify conf-cc or conf-ld at all because the native gcc
targets musl, but if you wanted to cross-compile it would probably
work putting the name of your cross compiler there, or the musl-gcc
wrapper even.

Indeed.

I had no idea there was some other package with the same name.

I'm not cross-compiling, but the distro is not musl-based. Yes, I put
the wrapper in conf-cc and conf-ld.

I've been using clockspeed for years (with < 5ms discrepancy relative
to the NTP server, on crappy hardware). But I had it compiled against
dietlibc long ago (in x86), and now it doesn't compile against dietlib
nor against musl. Just wondering if x86_64 brings about some extra
problem.
