yes.

the spec file cannot be reliable because the default
toolchain config is not visible to the spec file
logic, so for non-basic use we recommend to build a
musl based cross toolchain.

because it's easy to get text relocs by mistake
(compiling without -fPIE but linking static pie)
and text relocs are always wrong for static pie
(neither glibc nor musl plans to support them).
