To address that, I committed a first patch on mob to improve musl or uclibc 
detection: 

Now, configure does not enable musl or uclibc native support if a GNU
linker is already present. This avoids interference for example on a
Debian platform with musl-dev installed. More work is required
to select musl libc in that case, with additional configure flags,
i.e. --enable-musl and further code in tcc.h etc.
