Actually yes. The LEDE Website prides itself with
"LEDE is actively updated [...]"

a71b46cf fix malloc state corruption when ldso rejects loading a second libc
The Thread on the MUSL ML is "[musl] diffutils crash in malloc".
Judging from the descussion, it can cause programs to misbehave starting with
1.1.17 and 1.1.18.

And there's more:
72656157 fix fgetwc when decoding a character that crosses buffer boundary
c21051e9 prevent fork's errno from being clobbered by atfork handlers
...

+ some UAPI updates, which will be nice to have for 4.14 development.

And Also, Rich made big changes to iconv and it broke the
900-iconv_size_hack.patch.

Christian
