Subject: Crash in 'system' while executing '__clone'

Hi,

the following code snippet

    #include <stdlib.h>

    int main(void)
    {
        system("ls");
    }

segfaults while running inside a 1.1.16 musl-based chroot on a

    Linux debian 4.9.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.6-3 (2017-01-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux

host. The crash happens when __clone returns:

    Reading symbols from test...done.
    (gdb) break __clone
    Function "__clone" not defined.
    Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
    Breakpoint 1 (__clone) pending.
    (gdb) run
    Starting program: /home/tobias/test

Any ideas what might be wrong or what I can do to investigate further?
