I posted this on the musl mailing list (after being redirected on the 
voidlinux reddit forum):

The reply was:

*No, aside from possible stdio buffering it's entirely a kernel matter.*
I looked up the sutils source and see it's flushing after each output,
and tried it on an Alpine-based box here (with musl) and could not
reproduce what you're seeing. Both outputs are visible and roughly
interleaved (although their order sometimes swaps with scheduling, of
course).

So... is this a bug within void musl?
