i guess you meant
https://github.com/MaskRay/musl/commit/e8a9c5489b9be78a4532712045df6f7cd45c4de6
(would be nice if it was submitted to the list)

i think that should only affect the paths used at compile/link time
but not paths at runtime:

%{static|static-pie:; :-dynamic-linker %(libdir)/libc.so}

different runtime path should be a separate option.
(just like --syslibdir is separate from --libdir, e.g. syslibdir
could be a variable too)

there is also interference with the -static-pie handling of gcc's
driver which might cause trouble when -static and -static-pie is mixed:

%{static-pie:-static -pie --no-dynamic-linker -z text}
