Yes. I'm still not clear though on whether the intent is to provide an
environment for musl-[dynamic-]linked programs running on Slackware,
or more for a development environment using the musl-gcc wrapper. This
might affect the stability requirements. Of course if it's just a
development environment using the wrapper, there may not be a lot of
point in packaging that since you already need a compiler to use it,
and with a compiler you can build musl (whichever version you want) in
a matter of seconds on a modern workstation.
