Failed to compile v1.0.10 with clang 17.0.5 and musl 1.2.5: mamake [lib/libast]: *** exit code 139 making conflim.h #911
Description
G'day, ksh93 maintaining team. Long time no see.
Summarizing my problem, I was trying to build ksh93 using LLVM 17.0.5, with llvm-ar and llvm-ranlib, and linking to the musl C library version 1.2.5, and then got this error:

package: make failed at Sun Oct 26 19:48:10 -03 2025 in /dsk/0v/usr/tmp/obj/ksh-1.0.10/arch/linux.i386-64For a little bit more context, musl, the LLVM and other tools were built for a cross-compiling toolchain, more specifically a LFS-esque one.
I tried to emulate Copacabana's build system without re-running it and that's what mamake prints before compiling it and failing:
