Hi,
I'm trying out musl and I noticed that even when "--prefix" is used for
"configure", "make install" still tries to put a symlink in "/lib".
Is this intentional?
I rather keep my system directories clean and isolate my dev stuff.
Thanks
PS. Is there a "musl-g++.specs" floating around anywhere?

of course the dynamic linker name is part of the abi,
if you change that then you loose binary portability.
you can still change it by configuring musl with
different --syslibdir

the binaries will have non-standard interpreter path
in them, so they will only work with that particular
path setup.

Yes. --syslibdir is not affected by --prefix because it's part of the
ABI. You can opt to override it at build time if you want to install
on the host as non-root, but as a result your binaries linked against
musl will contain a hard-coded path that's specific to your
installation and won't be easily usable on systems other than your
own.
If you just want to stage an installation for a chroot or cross root,
don't make the staging location part of the prefix but instead run
"make install DESTIR=...".

In principle the same recipe as musl-gcc works for g++, just replacing
the name fo the command it invokes, but the c++ headers (or maybe the
precompiled versions thereof?) from a glibc-based host gcc encode lots
of glibc-specific assumptions, and badly break at compile time.
Linking to the libstdc++.a that was originally built against glibc
works okay though. If you can come up with a solution for the headers
problem, we can add a g++ wrapper, but I don't have the time or
interest to spend trying to figure that out myself.

Hi Rich,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I understand it might become platform dependent with a hard coded path,
thanks for the tip.
I believe I have run into the C++ header problem you mentioned as I get an
error "__GLIBC_PREREQ", it seems precompiled for glibc.
I'll try to make a script for building g++/libstdc++ with musl rather than
libc. Might be easier to have a standalone version of gcc. I'll forward on
the script if you like.
Cheers
