"Patching incompatible software"

What does that mean? If glibc is supported why there is a portability issueand requirement of patches?

Presumably so it can work with either libc implementation.

Well if glibc is supported all glibc softwares must work right?? Patching the software to support musl would not be needed if it does support glibc

Some patches are there for software that reauires systemd or parts of it.
