Subject: Re: printf segfaults on recent musl versions
I'm assembling a file with clang and linking it to custom compiled
musl with ld. This is the project I'm using:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RiKZTf_nJUak14fz7kSXbh7egJuDthDk/view?usp=sharing
musl 1.1.8 is the last version that works with this project. I used
clang 11.0.0 to compile both musl and this project.
