Done.

Done, but may need further testing before thinking about release.

I haven't started looking at this again yet. If I don't get to it soon
I would not mind pushing it back since I'd rather keep momentum of the
release schedule than meet every single goal. But I don't think it's
particularly hard either.

Any suggestions on techniques to use here?

This issue has been around way too long. I really want it fixed for
the next release. Any ideas on how to best allow "make install"
without permissions or overriding $syslibdir? The idea is I want it to
be possible to install a _development_ environment in a user-writable
$prefix that generates binaries whose PT_INTERP is the standard
/lib/ld-musl-$(ARCH).so.1. This would not be a working runtime
environment, of course. If I recall, we had some decent ideas before;
maybe I should look back at them.

Last time I started working on this, I got sick of it before I got
very far. There are just so many tedious macros/inline-functions to
implement. I was also frustrated with having to put so much code in a
public header. For this, I'd really like some help on both:
- ideas for making it less hideous, and
- actually writing it out.
With the above in mind, I think we're mostly on schedule for the
release roadmap. And we might be partly ahead of schedule on other
items:

nsz is working on the test package which looks like it includes some
regression testing already.
