Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Makes static binaries for GPU-accelerated code actually work. Makes it easy to build self-contained applications that can benefit from acceleration. Compile to musl, but still use common shared packages.

Tradeoffs

Incomplete ABI coverage: unsupported glibc calls currently abort. Musl has its own compatibility issues.
