Yes, after gcc-final, do the musl build and install again.  Or manually
make the symlink.

The reason a manual symlink creation isn't done in the book is that the
name of it is dependent upon the triplet and the musl install will do
this for you.  Clearly it's not working as well on some systems as
others with regards to ldconfig removing the symlink, though, so maybe
it's worth revisiting.

There shouldn't be other symlink issues, but I've not investigated this.

I'm on the musl ml.  I'll ask on IRC first and see what the response is
before taking it to the ml.

I'm not on the gcc mailing list but this isn't a gcc thing, gcc needs to
run ldconfig at this point.  Granted, they may be able to use a
different set of options for ldconfig, but musl is going to be where
they point the finger since making a symlink to nowhere isn't likely the
"right thing" to do from their point of view.

Thanks,
