Agreed!

I wonder if it's worth splitting this out into its own layer though
(with fixes done via bbappends) so that it's easy for multiple people
to contribute to. It would also mean it doesn't need rebasing onto
master all the time.

I'd definitely like to get involved with this. In particular I can
ensure opkg (both current release and development branch) work with
musl and see if some of my preferred software from meta-oe will build
(vim, htop, etc).

Many thanks,
