i will submit a bug report about this.
it should be fixed in gcc, __write is not
part of any official abi (not even lsb!),
there is no reason to use that here,
it is broken on many platforms not just musl
(bionic does not have it either).
meanwhile we can think about some workaround
(the most obvious is to patch libgcc since
you are rebuilding gcc anyway, just remove
the __write call and leave abort there)
