wasi-libc is used by rustc to build the wasm-wasi targets (recently in another
variant called preview2, so there is still work going on there as well), and as
such is not replaceable by wasix-libc (and I am not aware of any plans to
change that upstream, but I am not that involved in that ecosystem). the whole
wasm ecosystem is full of forks and somewhat related, yet incompatible "specs".
Other than that, I am afraid I don't really have an opinion - but thanks for
reaching out! :)
