From their website: C library diversity Void Linux supports both the musl and GNU libc implementations, patching incompatible software when necessary and working with upstream developers to improve the correctness and portability of their projects.

minus-squareAndromxda 🇺🇦🇵🇸🇹🇼@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoThey are likely referring to musl. Patches might be needed for some programs to work with musl.
