Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|

I just thought I'd let everyone know that I've built a musl stage4 for |
| 4 |
amd64 and put it on the mirrors [1]. If you don't know about musl, you |
| 5 |
can read about it here [2]. Its yet another libc which aims to be a |
| 6 |
slim and fast. |
| 7 |

I've got a stage4 (kinda/sorta). It is not made using catalyst but |
| 9 |
rather starts from a musl chroot and builds a new chroot using a |
| 10 |
ROOT=rootfs emerge -ev @system technique. The scripts are on the releng |
| 11 |
repo [3]. Right now there are lots of packages which do not immediately |
| 12 |
build with musl. Mostly these are due to header locations, gnu-isms, |
| 13 |
gnulib (which assumes way too much about internal implementations) and |
| 14 |
at least one bug in musl or gcc (depending on who you ask --- exit() |
| 15 |
compiled with --stack-protector-all). The patches are on the |
| 16 |
hardened-dev::musl overlay [4]. They are "quickies" and may need work |
| 17 |
if any are to go upstream. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
A few points about the stage: 1) it doesn't use busybox for its core |
| 20 |
utilities. I like a robust native development environment from which |
| 21 |
you can build. 2) Despite the fact that the profile is under hardened, |
| 22 |
it is still a vanilla stage. I'm working on getting it hardened, but a |
| 23 |
few packages break when we turn on pie, ssp, relro and/or bind_now. |
| 24 |

Enjoy or ignore at your discretion. |
