Just place the paths you want searched in a file named
/etc/ld-musl-x86_64.path (or replace x86_64 with your arch, the same
as the name in /lib/ld-musl-*.so.1), separated by newlines or colons.
If this file exists it will replace (not add to) the default search
path, so you need to include all dirs you want searched.

Note that ld-musl-*.so.1 itself needs to be in /lib.
