http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/ldso/dynlink.c#n1201

this is the relevant line: musl's loader exits before
executing main in ldd mode independently of setuid or
env vars the checked binary has no control over this
at all

in glibc the interpreter linked into the binary has to
do the right thing.. and it used to fail to do that
(and of course if you have a binary with non-glibc
interpreter it does the wrong thing with arbitrarily
bad consequences..)
