I don’t understand what you are trying to say here.

It’s plain wrong, that’s what it is.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2. Okt 14:47 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> i386-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 15. Jan 2021 /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 -> x86_64-linux-musl/libc.so*
This Debian system just has both, so you cannot use this to detect musl.
(Similarily, you cannot use this to detect a pure-static musl system;
I’m told the suckless people have interest in these.)

Yes, link the hello world statically so strings will show MUSL_LOCPATH
occurring. You can use -static for this, or the distro is broken.

Yes, this is where it comes from.

It’s probably their equivalent of glibc LOCPATH: a path where a user
can install custom locales into.
