musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
this sets the stage for replacement, and makes it practical to keep oldmalloc around as a build option for a while if that ends up being useful. only the files which are actually part of the implementation are moved. memalign and posix_memalign are entirely generic. in theory calloc could be pulled out too, but it's useful to have it tied to the implementation so as to optimize out unnecessary memset when implementation details make it possible to know the memory is already clear. |

WHATSNEW |
musl libc musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain. The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and glibc functionality. For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file. Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on the project website: http://www.musl-libc.org/
