I did a quick strace, and compare it with glibc:
GLIBC CASE:
...
open("/tmp/p.ex", O_RDONLY) = 4
spawn vncpasswd
open("/dev/ptmx", O_RDWR) = 4
open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 5
open("/dev/pts/18", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY) = 5
Password:
Verify:
Would you like to enter a view-only password (y/n)? n
--- SIGCHLD {si_signo=SIGCHLD, si_code=CLD_EXITED, si_pid=956,
si_status=0, si_utime=0, si_stime=0} ---
open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY)
= 4
open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY) = 2
open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY) = 0
+++ exited with 0 +++
MUSL CASE:
open("/tmp/p.ex", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 7
spawn vncpasswd
open("/dev/ptmx", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY|O_LARGEFILE) = 7
open("/dev/pts/3", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY|O_LARGEFILE) = 8
syscall_397(0xffffff9c, 0xb6f624e0, 0, 0x7ff, 0xbe927e48, 0xb6f624e0)

syscall_397(0x8, 0xb6f58350, 0x1000, 0x7ff, 0xbe927e48, 0xb6f624e0) =
-1 (errno 38)

syscall_389(0x10, 0, 0, 0xb6f62170, 0xbe92815c, 0xbe92808c) = -1 (errno 38)
It seems to block or stopped at syscall_389

I have no idea how to go further.
