Not really, I'm working on an existing project that was developed before
with Glibc. If I remember correctly some packages used by the project
did not build with musl (even with the previous version of Kernel).

The purpose of my mission was to analyze how to pass y2038 on embedded
devices (2 Linux and 1 Windows), now is to build the solution.

Upgrading Glibc and Buildroot were easier than switching to musl due
what was done before. I probably would have to change many elements
(packages, init scripts...) if I'd switched to musl.

Now both y2038 Linux works with glibc, this subject is the third I
raised (mysqld solved by a patch I made, cp binutils with issue from
fchmodat (bug 29097)).
