Subject: Re: Program with constructor function segfaults frequently
with musl
Sadly my use case is to set a given mnt namespace before go becomes
multi-threaded, which happens before the go main() function, so I do depend
on reading argv in the constructor, I mean I could use a file or something
else, but would rather not.
I guess this is just something I can get away with today in glibc that musl
will never support.
Thanks for looking though.
