some newer binutils versions print scary warnings about protected data because most gcc versions fail to produce the right address references/relocations for such data that might be subject to copy relocations. originally vis.h explicitly assigned default visibility to all public data symbols to avoid this issue, but commit b8dda24fe1caa901a99580f7a52defb95aedb67c removed this treatment for stdin/out/err to work around a gcc 3.x bug, and since they don't actually need it (because taking their addresses is not valid C). instead, a check for the gcc 3.x bug is added to the configure check for vis.h preinclude support; this feature will simply be disabled when using a buggy version of gcc.
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
