The standard C library API is what it is called, a standard.

What you are talking about is to ask Rich to modify musl to hide ffmpeg's
non-compliance bug (which glibc/uclibc do by sheer luck but this may change
any time).

With all the competence present here, is it really infeasible to improve
the code structure so that it does not involve the C library in the
bit-crunching performance critical paths??
