The non-MMU gap? Last time I looked, musl didn't had support for any
non-MMU architecture. See also
http://lists.uclibc.org/pipermail/uclibc/2014-February/048258.html:

At present there isn't a plan to, but we're not particularly opposed
to it either. The big questions are how invasive it would be and
whether we can provide full functionality in any reasonable way. The
answers to those questions wouldn't translate directly to a yes or no
but would be an important part of considerations. It would probably
help to have someone familiar with the technical aspects of supporting
non-MMU archs discuss it with us on our mailing list or IRC channel.
