Ripping out the GNU C library and replacing it with an alternative libc requires some patching of the official ports. Likewise, removal of linux-pam will necessitate some patching. This page provides a summary of the affected ports, and how they are modified for CRUX-MUSL.

| btrfs-progs | ./configure --disable-backtrace |
