I had no idea there was some other package with the same name.

I'm not cross-compiling, but the distro is not musl-based. Yes, I put
the wrapper in conf-cc and conf-ld.

I've been using clockspeed for years (with < 5ms discrepancy relative
to the NTP server, on crappy hardware). But I had it compiled against
dietlibc long ago (in x86), and now it doesn't compile against dietlib
nor against musl. Just wondering if x86_64 brings about some extra
problem.
