Subject: musl setup attempt

I tried following the instructions at
http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/INSTALL for Option 1.  Built
musl on a Debian Squeeze system and while configuring, set the prefix,
exec-prefix and syslibdir to a subdirectory beneath my home directory
and set target to i386.  A few programs seem to build and run fine
with this setup.  For instance, I was able to get bzip2 and diffh to
build and they run right on my Debian system.  However, several other
programs build without any complaints and when I try to run them, I
get input/output error.  I see that when I try to run programs like
bzip2 or some of the utilities with wavpack for instance.  I assumed
that possibly the program couldn't find the loader to load relevant
libraries.  I have /etc/ld-musl-i386.path set to the home directory
where I installed the musl lib files and I have LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable set to that lib directory as well.  When that
didn't work, I even went in and tried to hardcode dynlink.c and
reloc.h to point to my locations.  Still getting the same errors.
Anyone have any ideas what for work-arounds or fixes?

According to the README (
http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/README ):  "The musl project
is actively seeking contributors, mostly in the areas
of porting, testing, and application compatibility improvement."
What type of help do you need with porting and application
compatibility?  I'm currently working with several Open Source sdl,
fltk, pdcurses and command line based applications and building them
on Windows and FreeBSD.  If I can get musl working the way I hope,
would be interested in getting those Open Source applications working
with it as well.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Laura
