I was just writing this message when more replies arrived.  I have never 
heard of musl and have never installed it; pretty sure all my linux 
installations are regular ones with libc. So: the problem appears to be 
with the test in

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

which appears to default to musl even if it is not present. But I don't 
know enough about shell scripting to debug it - could it also be a 
problem with the shell used? (Mine is zsh.)
