Using Musl instead of Glibc: MLFS

There is an interesting fork of LFS that uses Musl instead of glibc.
https://github.com/dslm4515/Musl-LFS
I played with it for a while as the base OS for my KVM hypervisor servers.
A couple of years ago, I tried to find all the source archives for the old LFS releases. I ended up using the Debian and kernel.org archives to find most of the old package versions. Packages from before 2004 started disappearing like as86 and the PowerPC patches. I was never able to find the PowerPC patches because they were never mirrored on anything but FTP sites. The Internet Archive did not pick up any of those mirrors.
