I would like to use musl instead of glibc and libc++ instead of libstdc++, only use binutils provided by LLVM. I think that in that case I will link libc++abi and libunwind to libc++ statically, so I will not have to add -lunwind and -lc++abi to my LDFLAGS. Is it okay to do that? There is an experimental LIBCXX_ENABLE_STATIC_ABI_LIBRARY option, I will try to enable it.

If both do then you’re going to have conflicts, if libgcc_s.so or equivalent doesn’t then you’re going to have link failures in pure-C programs that use C/C++ compatible libraries.

As far as I can understand, all the functions of libgcc are provided by compiler-rt and libunwind, so it is possible to build a toolchain that will not have any parts of GCC at all. For now my toolchain can only produce statically liked binaries, I have some trouble with shared (https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32425#c8), and it only works for C, the C++ test program segfaults.
