musl version: 1.2.6-r2
test result: pass

I just tested podman run --rm --interactive --tty alpine:edge: I still get musl 1.2.5.

~ # apk info musl

I would prefer to wait until musl 1.2.6 final is released and available in Alpine Linux.

@vstinner Thanks for the review. Yes, I just double-checked and alpine:edge still defaults to musl-1.2.5. I previously ran apk add --no-cache musl-dev, that's why I got 1.2.6-r2.

I would prefer to wait until musl 1.2.6 final is released and available in Alpine Linux.

No problem, let's wait until 1.2.6 is officially included in the default version.

https://musl.libc.org/releases.html tells me that musl 1.2.6 was released in March 20, 2026.

No problem, let's wait until 1.2.6 is officially included in the default version.

@weixlu: Hi. Can you check if it's the case now?

@vstinner Ah yes, thanks for reminder. I have verified that musl 1.2.6 is now officially included

$ docker run --rm alpine:edge apk info musl

Also I've run test_math and it looks good. So I think this PR is ready to go
