  Description     : The GNU C library compatibility layer for musl

  The gcompat provides glibc-compatible APIs for use on musl libc systems.
  .
  This library is designed to be used for binaries that are already
  compiled against glibc. It does not contain any headers, and cannot be
  used to build software that requires glibc. It is instead recommended
  that any software that requires glibc APIs be modified to become more
  portable.
  .
  This library can optionally be compiled with other libraries to make a
  single, unfied solution. This can include fts, libucontext, obstack,
  and others.
  .
  gcompat additionally provides a loader stub. This is a small library
  that has the same name as the glibc dynamic linker on glibc platforms;
  when a binary is run that uses glibc as its dynamic linker, the stub
  will run, redirecting it to use musl and automatically preloading the
  gcompat library.
