Up to now, musl version updates have basically always just made things
better and there's never been a good reason not to switch to a new
musl release (in my own forks of oe-core I've updated both OE 2.7 and
OE 3.0 to the musl 1.1.24 release, etc).

However, after 1.1.24, musl switches 32bit targets to a 64bit time_t
(in preparation for 2038) and from my initial testing that seems to be
a change which is going to cause a lot of problems (both build time
and run time) for proprietary components and BSPs etc which are only
ever used on a 32bit target. Anything open source is likely to have
been well tested on a 64bit target and so any assumptions about the
size of time_t will have been fixed long ago, but even then there's a
chance of problems (see recent fixes in oe-core for build time issues
in strace, systemd, busybox, etc. I guess that run time issues are
likely to emerge too as the latest musl snapshot gets more testing on
32bit targets).

Updating musl beyond 1.1.24 in oe-core probably needs some careful
consideration, especially just before OE 3.1 LTS.

(Note that the version of musl in oe-core master is already beyond
1.1.24, so these comments don't apply specifically to this commit).
