I'm upgrading lfs-bootstrap to 7.8 and perl is being perl. But I found
another sed bug, and a musl bug rich fixed last night, so that's
something. :)

Because the G stands for google and Ken Thompson is trying to make the
Plan 9 of languages to displace the Unix of languages (C)?

The switch to musl is because uClibc died (eglibc was a symptom of
uClibc having died, that's how long ago it happened), and the
alternative (bionic) never aimed at a full posix implementation (they're
getting better, but android repurposed "users" to mean something else).
