on which platform is this ? the linaro bit in your toolchain suggests 
that it is ARM. is that correct ? and which version of musl ?
limited ABI compat is only there for x86 platforms.

as for your problem below, it's possible that something else calls 
sbrk() messing up musl's allocator.
you should check strace output to see if sbrk(0) is called more than once.
also make sure that nothing pulls in glibc's libc.so.

btw did you check your code against the ABI checklist that was pointed 
out earlier ?

to me, it's not very surprising that your broken usage breaks and 
invokes UB somewhere..
