No, it builds ocaml ok, but most of the mirage requirements wont build, some because eg it can't find libev that works with Musl, some things seem to want dynamic linking, some other less clear issues. Trying to build using the musl-gcc wrapper on a non Musl based distro is probably not going to work as there is no nice way to eg build libev against Musl. Fixing it to build ona Musl distro and then turning on static linking seems a better option.
