Or, put another way, it has always seemed to me that one of musl's tenets is to "fail fast and break hard" on egregiously invalid code. I'd argue "pretending to be GNU C++ and not having __null" is much more egregious than "code still using NULL in C++". Therefore it's better to break the invalid compiler (which could have any number of other bugs) than break the C++ code.
