config.guess detects the C standard library based on a result from the
compiler defined in "CC_FOR_BUILD" variable, for some reason OpenWrt build
system failed to set that variable properly, from your config.log I can see
CC_FOR_BUILD='gcc -O -g' but when I use bare musl tools I get
CC_FOR_BUILD='musl-gcc'

There is nothing specific in the output of powerpc64-openwrt-linux-musl-gcc
-E -dM log as I can see. In musl libc FAQ, they stated that there is no
__MUSL__ in the preprocessor macros https://wiki.musl-libc.org/faq.html
