About a year ago while experimenting with musl desktop, various
binary blobs I unfortunately tied to (you should remember
short discuss about nvidia blob compatibility) I tried to use my host
libstdc++.so with musl linker and that failed because of gnu "unique
symbol" extension. Did you encountered same problem here? If so, is
it solved now?
