syscalls: Add support for musl libc. This commit allows using Guix on a foreign distro which uses musl libc, for example, Alpine Linux. Usage of musl libc is detected via a new musl-libc? variable using the Guile %host-type. Using the new musl-libc? variable, we can now implement musl-specific quirks. The two compatibility problems I encountered in this regard are that musl dose not export a readdir64 and statfs64 symbol. On musl, these two functions are implemented as CPP macros that expand to readdir/statfs. To workaround that, a case-distinction was added. The existing linux? variable has been modified to return true if the %host-system contains "linux-" in order to ensure it is true for both linux-gnu as well as linux-musl host systems. The patch has been tested on Alpine Linux and is already used for the downstream Guix package shipped in Alpine Linux's package repository. * guix/build/syscalls.scm (musl-libc?): New variable. (linux?): Truth value on any linux system. (statfs, readdir-procedure): Support musl libc.
