Forgot to mention one other thing I found: __SYSCALL_LL_O on riscv32
is defined as if registers pairs need to be aligned for syscalls, but
that does not appear to be the case.
My proposed fixes are available here:
https://github.com/michaelforney/musl/compare/6a4f4a9...riscv
Zach van Rijn has applied those patches in his toolchains at
https://musl.cc, and Fabrice Bellard is using them in his buildroot
port at https://bellard.org/tinyemu/buildroot.html. It'd be nice to
get them applied/squashed into https://github.com/riscv/riscv-musl.
I haven't done any actual review of the port (and I don't actually
know much about riscv). I just ran into these issues while trying to
get some programs to run under linux in tinyemu.
