Thanks for all the work.

Any pointers and instruction on musl usage?

I tried

```
user at debian:~/ldc2-1.42.0-alpine-x86_64$ ./bin/ldc2 -static 
../hello.d
/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: 
/home/user/ldc2-1.42.0-alpine-x86_64/bin/../lib/libphobos2-ldc.a(curl.o): in function `std.net.curl.CurlAPI.loadAPI()':
...
```

I also tried `-mtriple=x86_64-linux-musl`, but it does nothing.


Without `-static` it compiles, but links to glibc.
