  zedmatrix

  kinda funny seeing nothing at the finish of a boot
• 19:33
  malina
  honesatly though, it takes usualyl a lot pf patching to get things right long before init
• 19:33

• 19:34
  malina

  malina
  ye but aga9in, some things are very important to patch for musl ahead of glibc
• 19:34
  zedmatrix
  yea sysv said missing /etc/rc.d/init/d/rc
• 19:34
  malina
  sometimes though I feel you kindas go a bit too fast so to speak
• 19:35
  malina
  like on alower level
• 19:35
  malina
  init is like ... a lot of packages before that have need to be patched tyo communicate with the right libc
• 19:35
  zedmatrix
  yea make was one of those packages needing patching
• 19:35
  malina
  fair
• 19:35
  zedmatrix
  same with elfutils
• 19:36
  malina
  tye autotools needd fixing
• 19:36
  malina
  but there ARE patches to the C code which interacts on lower levels with the hardware
• 19:36
  zedmatrix
  but mostly went by the LFS book
