This is modified version of musl libc.
Library was patched by Vladimir Azarov (avm).
See COPYRIGHT for license.

Contact: licvidozu@gmail.com

Unlike the original this version does not require GNU make and sed
to be built. All you need is gcc/binutils pair, core utilities
(e.g. coreutils) and a shell (e.g. dash).

The only supported architecture is x86_64 with LP64 abi. All dynamic
linking support is removed.

To compile and install:
    1. Adjust prefix variable in Makefile
    2. CC=gcc LD=ld ./compile_make.sh
    3. tools/make
    4. tools/make install

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
