From what I remember about this issue, rust considers musl == static, putting their own libc build into the binary, in their upstream targets. pkgsStatic.rustc works, and also uses musl.
The problems start with musl + dynamic linking, because that's not really a target supported by upstream rust. Alpine and Void have their patches to support it.

I've opened #179554 to mark rustc broken in this case, until we can get a fix.

Can't we use patches from Alpine/Void ?

[alyssais]

Not easily AIUI — it's been tried before. Actually, that never integrated the patches. But still it would be a big task, and doesn't mean we shouldn't mark it broken in the mean time to make it easier to debug build failures.

The commit linked in the final comment integrates the patches:
yu-re-ka@c3ff994
But it's messy.

For good measure I confirmed that patches would still be required with the latest rust release:

pkgsMusl.rustc works for me by now.
