Yeah, and upstream confirmed security backports for 1.0 will go away
within the year, so 1.1 it is.

Well, frankly that's the larger argument against dynamic linking as a
whole... at any rate, the updated slackbuild puts all the libraries in
/usr/$LIBDIR/musl, except for the loader, which is in /usr/$LIBDIR.
There's no collision problems with the loader, because it's called
ld-musl-$ARCH.

Yeah, his patches were the starting point for my toolchain. Good stuff.
