the motivation for this change is that the extra declaration (with or without visibility) using "struct _IO_FILE" instead of "FILE" seems to trigger a bug in gcc 3.x where it considers the types mismatched. however, this change also results in slightly better code and it is valid because (1) these three objects are constant, and (2) applying the & operator to any of them is invalid C, since they are not even specified to be objects. thus it does not matter if the application and libc see different addresses for them, as long as the (initial, unchanging) value is seen the same by both.
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
