Closed issue by pullmoll on void-packages repository

Description:
Trying to build `mesa` for our `mips*` targets, which are `musl` only, results in an error about missing `libm-2.30.so`.
This happens only if the build environment is `i686`.
Using an `i686-musl` ~~or `x86_64`~~ build environment works fine, ~~where the latter has differing word size which may cause other problems~~. Correcting myself: `x86_64` yields the same error.

It seems that a host dependency makes its way into the target dependencies.

Here's the relevant output if that helps.
```

```

This would be a problem for people trying to cross build mips on their own.
Myself I can work around it as I have `i686-musl` also.
