Description

It would be great if there was a way to specify musl as libc for the build, so that the CI could produce statically linked executables that could be ran on any distro, without regard to the libc sort and version used (that is a problem with glibc).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing GHC, cabal, and stack setup paths and CI configuration to see how libc choices are currently handled. Done means CI can select musl and produce statically linked executables that run across distributions without depending on the host glibc version.
