Package: gcc-6
Version: 6.1.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi!
Upstream added a new option, -mmusl that's supposed to use musl instead of glibc.
However, our current build in Debian instead silently almost ignores it ("almost"
as it has a small but unsufficient effect):

[/tmp]$ gcc-6 -Wall -mmusl hello.c
[/tmp]$ ldd a.out
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe34997000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007ff387f4c000)
	/lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000555ba16a0000)
[/tmp]$ gcc-6 -Wall -mmusl -static -s hello.c
[/tmp]$ ls -al a.out 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kilobyte kilobyte 738648 May  8 21:59 a.out

As discussed on IRC:

22:21 < helmut> kilobyte: I think -mmusl is a road to sadness. Please use
                x86_64-linux-musl-gcc-6 instead.
22:21 < waldi> "mmusl"?
22:22 < helmut> waldi: #823769
22:22 < kilobyte> helmut: hmm right, for the same reason multilib sucks, I
                  guess
22:22 -zwiebelbot:#debian-devel- Debian#823769: please support the musl c
          library for cross compiler builds - https://bugs.debian.org/823769
22:22 < helmut> kilobyte: exactly
22:23 < helmut> kilobyte: precisely for that reason, I will put zero effort
                into supporting -mmusl. It's just wrong.
22:25 < kilobyte> I guess it should then return an error message instead of
                  silently using glibc

Thus, if you're not going to support it, please make it fail noisily.

Of course, exec("x86_64-linux-musl-gcc-6") or complaining if it's not installed
is an option, too.
