Ok, let me start by saying "feature test requirements" are bollocks and
musl should not pull this crap.

That said, it's doing it wrong:

That one I can replace since it's just a gratuitous rename, but the _BSD
define should provide it.

This is posix 2008, musl is broken.

This is a linux system call, musl is broken.

_SVID_SOURCE or _BSD_SOURCE should give us this according ot the man
page, I #defined both.

http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/clearenv.3.html

musl is broken.

The man page says _BSD_SOURCE should give us this, musl is broken.

> toys/id.c:133:2: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘getgrouplist’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

Posix-2008 defines getgroups() as the portable way to do this, so I
should change the code.

The man page says the guard for this is _BSD_SOURCE, musl is broken.

I forgot to check in the "default n" tweak for this command until I
merge your pending patch.

Fallout from strndupa(), unknown return type.

> toys/mdev.c:168:2: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘makedev’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

It's _BSD_SOURCE, musl is broken.

And again...

Huh, apparently removed from posix 2008, now it's gratuitously
sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE).  Ok...

That's still in posix 2008:

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getpriority.html

But now it wants sys/resource.h.  *shrug*  Ok...

Sigh.  Those crazy standards idiots removed vfork from posix-2008, which
is a bug.

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/V4_xsh_chap03.html

I wrote up a big long explanation once upon a time for the busybox FAQ:

http://busybox.net/FAQ.html#tips_vfork

But more to the point, _BSD_SOURCE should provide it according to the
man page, so musl is broken.

> toys/sleep.c: In function ‘sleep_main’:
> toys/sleep.c:52:3: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘usleep’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

Posix really wants to move everything to nanosleep?  Really?

Sigh.  Ok...

Second verse, same as the first...

> toys/toysh.c: In function ‘run_pipeline’:
> toys/toysh.c:304:3: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘vfork’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

And again...

> toys/which.c:33:2: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘index’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
> toys/which.c:33:6: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘index’ [enabled by default]

And again.

Just checked in fixes for some of it, the rest honestly seems to be musl
bugs...
