Comment:
The failure on musl targets is because the musl libc doesn’t have `ucontext.h`. See e.g. [here](https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2018/01/29/2) why.

In `include/ma_context.h` there is
```
#ifdef _WIN32
#define MY_CONTEXT_USE_WIN32_FIBERS 1
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && __GNUC__ >= 3 && defined(__x86_64__) && !defined(__ILP32__)
#define MY_CONTEXT_USE_X86_64_GCC_ASM
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && __GNUC__ >= 3 && defined(__i386__)
#define MY_CONTEXT_USE_I386_GCC_ASM
#elif defined(HAVE_UCONTEXT_H)
#define MY_CONTEXT_USE_UCONTEXT
#else
#define MY_CONTEXT_DISABLE
#endif
```
So `mariadb-connector-c` uses its own asm code for x86_64. That’s why this target works. For ARM (and other targets) it falls back to the libc’s `ucontext.h`. The check for `ucontext.h` doesn’t fail because it is part of the cross-compiler packages (I don’t have enough insight to know why). But you just have to patch out that check so that the code follows the branch without ucontext, like e.g.:

```
pre_configure() {
	case "$XBPS_TARGET_MACHINE" in
		*-musl)	vsed -i -e "/CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES (ucontext.h HAVE_UCONTEXT_H)/d" \
			cmake/CheckIncludeFiles.cmake
	esac
}
```

and remove the line
`archs="x86_64 i686 x86_64-musl"`

Now it should be fine. :)
