It will be very interesting in having musl-libc part of yocto!

Here the 
Greetings!

I'm pleased to announce the long-awaited musl 1.0.0:

    This release adds support for a soft-float ABI variant on MIPS as
    well as new experimental ports to SuperH and x32 (the new 32-bit
    ABI for x86_64). Two floating point printf bugs have been fixed
    including a rounding error and off-by-one buffer overflow that
    could occur only when printing certain denormal values with
    thousands of places of precision. A second overflow issue was
    fixed in wcsxfrm where a buffer length of zero was misinterpreted.
    Several other minor bug fixes and compatibility improvements have
    also been made.

Updates to the development roadmap and discussion of where we go next
will follow soon.

Here's a simple start-up for the recipe

Tested against:
fetch, unpack, patch, configure, compile, install.

When tested against build it result in:
    ERROR: QA Issue: musl-libc: Files/directories were installed but not shipped /usr/lib/musl-gcc.spec

If any one have comments on that?

There is now a meta-musl layer that can be used, it is not part of OE-Core at 
this time, I am going to close this bug.

See: https://github.com/kraj/meta-musl

Khem Raj is the maintainer of that layer.
