Hello, developers of R. I have been unsuccessfully trying to build R on a musl libc system for the last days. ./configure works, but make fails. The command that errors out is here - http://pastebin.com/raw/UwFRsiqT It was brought to my attention that this is a (very longstanding) abuse of a private glibc symbol in R. In R 3.2.3, it seems that configure is trying to test for it on Linux. It
