No, musl itself does not use the kernel headers at all. There are a
few headers under sys/ which are just alternate names for headers in
linux/ (kd.h, vt.h, and soundcard.h) but these are only provided for
convenience and are not used at all in musl internally.

Note however that if you're building software that uses a configure
script to determine whether linux/ headers exist, it may build
differently depending on whether or not they are installed.
