I wish to build ghc against musl, but it's like making yogurt: I need
ghc to build ghc, and the ghc folks in their great wisdom distribute
binaries... dynamic-linked against GNU turds.

I myself doubt whether we ought to include them and pollute the ABI,
but I thought that others might be in a like situation, which is why I
ask. I am now using ghc with a locally-patched musl, so I hope to not
need these symbols further myself, but the ultimate choice is yours.
