Description
Building rr with musl is not possible right now, there are two main problems:
- In musl, lots of *64 and *64_t are macros, e.g.
#define stat64 stat. This breakskernel_abi.hhard. thread_dbis not implemented by musl

Research direction
Start by examining kernel_abi.h and the build paths involved when compiling rr against musl. Investigate how musl's *64 macros affect the ABI declarations and how the missing thread_db implementation is handled. Done means rr builds successfully with musl and the affected functionality has appropriate validation.
