No, this isn't the last blocker. I verified with musl-gcc on x86_64:
with only this patch applied, the build still fails in steal_time.c on
pthread_attr_setaffinity_np() -- it also needs your task-pinning fix
("KVM: selftests: Use KVM's task pinning APIs in steal_time", which I
resent). With both applied, the musl build passes.
