Migrating from glibc to musl on Gentoo
07-22-2021, 08:09 AM
I'm running Gentoo with glibc on PBP.
I'm interested in switching to musl. As I understand it, it should be done via reinstalling, which I want to avoid since it took quite some time to set things up.
Is it possible to just untar the stage3 tarball onto / filesystem from liveusb? Would such OS boot?
I know I would need to rebuild all the installed software, but I just want things to boot now.
Overall, what are the cons of using musl on PBP?
