now that .lo and .o files differ only by whether -fPIC is passed (and no longer at the source level based on the SHARED macro), it's possible to use the same object files for both static and shared libc when the compiler would produce PIC for the static files anyway. this happens if the user has included -fPIC in their CFLAGS or if the compiler has been configured to produce PIE by default. we use the .lo files for both, and still append -fPIC to the CFLAGS, rather than using the .o files so that libc.so does not break catastrophically if the user later removes -fPIC from CFLAGS in config.mak or on the make command line. this also ensures that we get full -fPIC in case -fpic, -fPIE, or some other lesser-PIC option was passed in CFLAGS.
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
