compressed build log

this is from a cross-compiler chroot, set up from native musl amd64 system with: crossdev -S armv7a-unknown-linux-musleabihf --libc 1.1.23, followed by emerge-armv7a-unknown-linux-muselabihf -av =musl-1.1.23

quote from the build log: 

 * ERROR: sys-libs/musl-1.1.23::gentoo failed (install phase):
 *   (no error message)
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line 125:  Called src_install
 *   environment, line 2305:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *           [[ -e "${D}"/lib/ld-musl-${arch}.so.1 ]] || die;
 *

I think the problem is most likely this line: 

https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/sys-libs/musl/musl-1.1.23.ebuild#L101

value for ${arch} is broken on the next line, it should be armhf 

honestly, I don't understand the fancy sed kungfu, and why it's causing this mess. 

local workaround is to go to line 102 and hard code the value of ${arch} to armhf to the time being, this makes the ebuild cross emerge just fine.
