ok, i went back and check all 3 binaries, all of them dynamically linked 
for some reason, still i486 and arm worked (well "--version" worked). only 
ppc version hanged or seg faulted. even though i have passed 
LDFLAGS="-static" to configure, it still insist on compiling dynamically.
i managed to fix it with explicit command instead of make:
cd src/xz/
make clean ; LDFLAGS="-static"  CC=musl-gcc make
LDFLAGS="-static"  musl-gcc -static -std=gnu99 -pthread -Wall -Wformat=2 
-Wfloat-equal \
  -Wundef -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast \
  -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes \
  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-noreturn \
  -Wredundant-decls -Os -s -o xz xz-args.o xz-coder.o xz-file_io.o \
  xz-hardware.o xz-list.o xz-main.o xz-message.o xz-options.o \
  xz-signals.o xz-suffix.o xz-util.o xz-tuklib_open_stdxxx.o \
  xz-tuklib_progname.o xz-tuklib_exit.o xz-tuklib_cpucores.o \
  xz-tuklib_mbstr_width.o xz-tuklib_mbstr_fw.o 
../../src/liblzma/.libs/liblzma.a -pthread

now all three targets worked (statically).
thanks.
