For followup on my usecase, I've instead adapted bpftool to no longer
require FTW_ACTIONRETVAL (this specific call to nftw was replaced with
two nested readdir() loop), so bpftool now builds with stock musl
without this.
If there is ever interest again I'll be happy to finish polishing up any
implementation for this as I think it's quite handy, but otherwise I'll
just forget about it.
Thanks,
