Buildroot has patches on the list for using the musl-cross scripts as an
external toolchain.  They work well in my testing so far although not
all the patches have yet been accepted as one broke something unrelated.

My thought is to use the process musl-cross uses, as now it has sysroot
support, to build a musl/gcc/binutils modern toolchain for CLFS
embedded.  musl-cross is quite clean and easy to read and seems to work
well.

Thanks,
