  Without escaping the caret it’s not as portable as it could be.  By
the way, I checked in the mean time, and the problem with unescaped
^musl in zsh is that it may be expanded to “any file name that is not
musl” which explains the output Thomas was getting.  The grep command is
thus expanded to something like “grep -q dir1 dir2 file1 [piped output]”,
generating an error message for each directory.  Mojca, if you want to
reproduce that, you need the extended glob option (setopt EXTENDED_GLOB).
See man zshexpn for details.

  That won’t help; it is logically equivalent to

	if command -v ldd >/dev/null && ldd --version 2>&1 | grep -q ^musl
	then
		LIBC=musl
	else
		LIBC=glibc
	fi

and doesn’t address any of problems.

	Best,
