Hello all again!

Some good news: With a gentle poking [1], the wasi-libc now have a
tagged version(s) - or at least tags corresponding to the version
used in a WASI-SDK. That should help us better agreement on which
version to use down the road.

I'm hoping we will be able to build it as-is; the only thing I'm now
currently patching is the Makefile, so that it picks up CFLAGS from
the environment. These flags get filtered to only those applicable
to the wasm32-wasi target.

The main issue I'm fighting with currently is the CC0-licensed dlmalloc
and it's possible replacement with the musl one.
It seems that the dlmalloc is used mainly because it does not need
a mmap-like capabilities on the system; WebAssembly does not provide that.
I'm yet to succesfully compile the libc with any other malloc
implementation – any help or pointers appreciated.

I've also opened an inquiry about this upstream [3];
we'll see how that goes.
