I'll submit patches to musl. In their README they recommend defining _GNU_SOURCE
to get "the kitchen sink" since they probably know that their handling of different
defines is not optimal. Oh, well time to patch musl (for the record
make CC="musl-gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE" compiles (minus the support index and strndupa)).
