[musl] Musl release status?

[musl] Musl release status?

[Rob Landley]

I'm poking at a https://landley.net/bin/toolchains/ rebuild. I believe 
"latest" there had 1.2.4 in it, but since musl goes out of its way to 
revealing what version you're using I have to trust the release notes on 
that instead of being able to --version like the other packages.

The 1.2.5 tag from from February is still the current release. Has 
anything relevant happened in the past 9 months that I'd miss using the 
stable release instead of using a random git snapshot? (Which was last 
pushed to over a month ago at this point anyway...)

Wiring of new syscalls, statx struct addition, some important bug fixes
it really depends upon what is relevant for you. Usually tip of trunk has
been good, Yocto project always uses the latest tip of the trunk.
