That makes sense. I'd suggest adding that to the README file in meta-musl so
other would-be-contributors notice it.

In this case, it's ensuring that 'uint64_t' is used instead of '__uint64_t' and
that <limits.h> is included where needed for 'PATH_MAX'. So I'd say those fixes
belong in oe-core and are candidates for submitting upstream.
