sys-libs/musl-1.1.18-r1.ebuild

A fairly simple bug; the ebuild does not respect EPREFIX, and as such will
not merge in a prefix because it installs files to locations outside of the
prefix (at least when using crossdev inside prefix itself; unsure about how
a rap style musl prefix will work, but that's another project for another
day)

Attached is musl-1.1.18-r1.ebuild which fixes the issue (and still works
with non-prefixed crossdev, will need testing as the main system's libc,
however), and a patch to musl-9999.ebuild with the same fix included.

    sys-libs/musl: prefixify build
    
    Currently building a musl libc toolchain inside of gentoo prefix with
    crossdev will fail, due to installing files outside of the prefix. Added
    ${EPREFIX} and ${ED} where apropriate fixed this issue.
    
    Tested in a prefix with toolchain x86_64-gentoo-linux-musl, and tested on bare
    gentoo with x86_64-gentoo-linux-musl.

I'm very much interested into having a working arm cross compiler, so please ping me if you need cpu time on arm for testing this.

I'm not in principle opposed to this.  The first commit was innocent.  The second commit (presented on github) was no where tested enough.  Let me explain why I'm worried.  Certain operations in certain environments must be atomic.  Touching ldconfig in the way suggested may break during bootstrapping in a catalyst or GRS environment.  I'm willing to test at my end, but not in a piecemeal fashion.

Here's what I suggest: get an overlay read with *all* of the commits there.  When you feel its ready, I'll submit it to testing in various build environments at my end.

There is a further problem with this approach and that is that I plan to replace ldconfig (currenly a bash script) with a program written in C.  At that point, your approach will break.  You can cross that bridge when we get there.

Well, I did do some testing on baremetal (musl based chroot) and via crossdev
(glibc, main system) and prefix (glibc prefix on glibc root), plus work on
a musl prefix on baremetal musl (prior musl chroot).

Granted, I did not test catalyst, so that should be done.
https://github.com/hanetzer/musl-prefix is the work I've done so far on it, but
I really can't get the profiles to play nice from overlays.
