               This system segmentation faults consistently while bootstrapping within the system.
               The cause is not immediately clear but might be related to the system security practices.

+                  Further investigation has shown that <strong class="strong">CMake</strong> is no the main culprit here. There appears to be something wrong with the system libraries. The likely candidates are <strong class="strong">Musl libc</strong>, <strong class="strong">GCC</strong>, <strong class="strong">Binutils</strong>, and <strong class="strong">Valgrind</strong>. The problem might be made worse when threads are in use. Even the <code class="code">ls</code> command is showing problems. I would not be surprised if there is some sort of optimization problem.

+                  I intend to first try different versions of <strong class="strong">Musl</strong>. The compiler and the linker are additional points of interest. I must also consider <strong class="strong">Valgrind</strong> to be mis-reporting. However, I believe the mis-reporting to be unlikely as I can identify bad behavior in several programs that works fine outside of this environment.
