@cr1901 Completely disagree there. POSIX is the portability standard; Windows is broken. Thankfully midipix is fixing that.

@RichFelker Does musl libc provide a Windows libc :P? The only other libc I'm aware of for Windows besides Microsoft's is OpenWatcom's. -
@cr1901 Actually yes. See the midipix project. http://www.midipix.org -
@RichFelker I did see the page already; I did a double take when I read about musl having Windows support :P.

@RichFelker Why do you think Windows is broken b/c it decided not to be a Unix and GNU thought supporting DOS/Windows properly was a joke? -
@cr1901 That's an "interesting" narrative. -
@RichFelker Autoconf manual discusses somewhere about the design decision to use sh instead of a more portable intermediate language. -
@RichFelker The moment GNU project decided to rely on sh for autotools' I/O was a statement that Unices were the only intended target. >> -
@RichFelker At least, that's how I read it. Somehow, some poor soul got bash running on Windows, so *shrug* :/ -
@RichFelker As you might expect, bash for Windows is buggy, slow, and unpleasant to use for compiling software. Why is up for speculation :P
