Well, XBPS is a complicated bash script that tracks dependencies and
builds the packages in order, so you could consider it a very
specialized version of make.

The packages itself are built with thatever upstream uses, so it will
call make or ninja when compiling the programs.

No, this is not supported.  It may work with static binaries (and
explicit overriding when installing), but in general, glibc and musl
have different ABI so libraries can't be mixed.
