What is your goal in getting it smaller? With static linking, only the
object files needed by a program end up in the resulting binary, so
compiling less will not make your binaries any smaller. The only
benefits I can think of are (1) reducing time to compile musl, and (2)
storing the development files on an extremely small storage device. If
you tell us what you're trying to do, we can offer better advice on
how to meet your needs.
