you mean the .gnu.hash nonsense?
that should not matter for statically linked programs..
if you have contact with the arch packagers then
tell them not to hard code --hash-style=gnu into
the compiler
gnu hash is non-standard and does not make much sense
(unless you use broken programs like firefox or
openoffice with large amount of symbols in dso
outside the main executable for no good reason,
then it can be 2x faster to load than standard sysv
hash however there is --hash-style=both for
situations like that)

why?
most of the listed tools are known to work with gcc+musl

heirloom tools can be compiled with musl
after some minor cleanups

i suggest sending arch specific complaints
to an arch list and musl specific ones to
the musl mailing list
btw there are various musl based distros
