systemd now has a system call wrapper that does a long series of #ifdef's to
differentiate between architectures and ABIs. This wrapper has two problems.
1. On mips, it needs to differentiate between O32, N32, N64 ABI. It does that
via a code block in src/include/override/sys/generate-syscall.py (and derived
files):
76 # elif defined(_MIPS_SIM)
77 # if _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_ABI32
78 # define systemd_NR_{syscall} {nr_mipso32}
79 # elif _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_NABI32
80 # define systemd_NR_{syscall} {nr_mips64n32}
81 # elif _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_ABI64
82 # define systemd_NR_{syscall} {nr_mips64}
83 # else
84 # error "Unknown MIPS ABI"
85 # endif
86 # elif defined(__hppa__)
Now the _MIPS_SIM* constants stem from a vendor-specific header file sgidefs.h,
which is included with glibc, but not with musl. It is however always present
in the Linux kernel headers as asm/sgidefs.h ...
2. To work around this, the syscall wrapper already has a block
47 #ifdef ARCH_MIPS
48 #include <asm/sgidefs.h>
49 #endif
Turns out, ARCH_MIPS is defined nowhere in Gentoo, neither on glibc nor on musl.
As a result the code (by accident, probably sgidefs.h is included transitively
somehow) works on glibc, but not on musl.
The simplest fix is to replace line 47 in the generator and the derived file
with
47 #ifdef __mips__
Two other source code files require a similar fix since they rely on the
constants.
