I already use Void. A bunch of the packages on it can be jokes for Musl, I build everything by hand.

Voidlinux has a musl flavor as sth said.

For crux, musl isn't supported, and if you go down this route, you will certainely have to patch a bunch of softwares.

Alpine does not like install medium (a very old 16GB drive and I have no CD drive or CD's.

There are others doing similar things to you, I know z3bra posted in the other 'smallest distro' thread but he was messing around with musl and the like, you should talk to him about this.
Thought I should add this:

List of all the projects using musl, lots of distros on there you can pull inspiration from

I can do that! :) I'll look at that.

Here, an update.
==================

Looked at many proejects that use or will use musl plus a lot of lightweight distros and I have a bit of a idea on how I will accomplish this. I'm going to try LFS then BLFS, and eventually ALFS (unless people can just install from what I give them [doubt it but possible]).

For packages I will supply a package manager I wrote myself that builds packages from git using shell scripts. It is a less flexible system but it works for what I'll do. We are going to probably be 64bit exclusive (sorry ARM, x86, and MIPS users). If it isn't hard to cross compile, I may add x86. I'll have the base system preinstalled hopefully and I'll hopefully be able to update it with ease. Make + autotools will install, uninstall, and configure software. The package manager runs on Git and Make so it works perfectly. Users will have a .software or .packages or ~/Code/Soft(ware) area that holds the source of the packages. I'd like feedback. Thank you!

Also, I'll include Toy/Busybox hopefully and have bash and zsh installed by default and scripts already on the machine to build things like Python, Python2, Vim, and the such. :)

I looked at Solyste and I like the idea of mksh as the default shell. In my experience that is very fast. Also, how hard is it to compile X?
