Hi o1bigtenor,

musl is a C library revealing various OS functionalities and various
standard ways of doing things. It and libc are replacements for each
other. musl makes smaller and more efficient programs, from what I
understand.

Almost all of the Linux kernel and surrounding apps are written in C
and compiled by a C compiler using a library such as musl or libc. My
phrase "a musl compiled Linux" was meant to indicate a Linux
distribution compiled against musl instead of the usual glibc.

Void Linux is one of the few distros that offers a musl-compiled
version of Linux. I use their libc version as the path of least
resistance, but if I wanted to, I could have a musl compiled Void Linux.
