Hello again.
I tried to build gollvm on another musl based Linux distro (additionally to Alpine).
https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/koyhl8/cant_compile_gollvm_on_void_linux/ - reported to the maintainers of Void Linux.
https://gist.github.com/advancedwebdeveloper/28e6c970c2c5301a1666435439312246 - here is the log.

libffi related stuff looks like this:

/home/oceanfish81/workarea/llvm-project/llvm/tools/gollvm/gofrontend/libgo/go/runtime/ffi.go:18:26: error: use of undefined type '__ffi_type'

@thanm, using Ninja was less desirable: it performed unnecessary re-compiling/re-linking, despite the presence of the build artifacts (which could be re-used).

I can't really comment on the problems with ninja-- porting gollvm to a new build system is not something that I have time to tackle. Ninja is not perfect, but it's what we've got at the moment.

Regarding porting gollvm to musl-based systems, this is an interesting idea but like all ports it will require investigation and development work (it's not simply a question of the existing gollvm being "buggy").

@thanm, in such a situation you can help to resolve Ninja's issue. Of course I could re-run using Ninja, after everything would be OK under GNU make.
And I will report both summaries, of course.

Let's get back to this, once you would submit a patch for sys.GoosIos
