Comment:
I didn't try, but I guess you could use http://skarnet.org/software/utmps/ - install it, run the server and LD_PRELOAD libutmps as a workaround.
Long term, since musl refuses (rightfully imho) to implement those things, the solution would be to add the client part to the musl C library (a rewrite without the skalibs), falling back to a NOP if utmpd is not running; this requires
- someone who cares enough to do the work
- convincing the musl guys to accept the patch
- convincing the utmps author to freeze and document the protocol
Better solutions are welcome - eg if all you need is boot time you could stub that, but next releases may need something more, so this is probably a worse solution...
