On: Zig cc: A drop-in replacement for GCC/Clang

[saagarjha]

Glibc does not really support static linking.

[alexeldeib → saagarjha]

Kind of my point — so much software depends on it, it’s difficult to statically link more things.

[needs → alexeldeib]

Musl is a pretty good replacement, I have been using it for years without any troubles.

[alexeldeib → needs]

I like Musl, but it is a source of pain at times too: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/64924 https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/33554

Admittedly you could put that on the Kubernetes folks, but the same problem doesn't exist with glibc.
