When the author mentioned musl libc I was rather expecting them to say they switched. It seems rather more patches are required for uclibc support than for musl, while musl has the advantage of an active community. uclibc on the other hand hasn't seen a release for years (prompting someone to start up http://www.uclibc-ng.org/ http://www.uclibc-ng.org/). Projects such as buildroot and openwrt maintain patches both to uclibc and to applications they wish to compile.
