Hi Benda et al.

More specifically where's what's been done:

1) I have a stage4 for amd64 and i686 and an overlay for patches against 
the tree's packages.

http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/hardened-dev.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/musl

2) These stages need to be properly built using catalyst rather than 
using my ROOT=rootfs emerge -e @system technique which is scripted here

http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/releng.git;a=tree;f=tools-musl

3) We should move libc.so from /usr/lib/libc.so to /lib/libc.so (minor 
but on the todo)

4) We should create stage3s for the following arches/abis:

     mips I with o32
     mipsel I with o32
     armv7a hardfloat eabi

possibly also mips64r2 with n32 and n64

Such a project would involve very eclectic skills: from hacking python 
in catalyst and patching build systems, to working with libc at a low 
level, c and assembly.
