systemd is not for musl. fundamental goals of the projects are
different, so I dont even want to say it will be supported
although in meta-musl I have some patches which gets it to some
functional state. But systemd project wants to use
every feature that comes into glibc, and musl doesnt want to implement
anything extra on top of posix. So if we want
systemd with musl then its on own times either of community will help
with this. the situation is same with uclibc btw.
