I built the 'musl-cross' package on my personal branch[*] and found that
the build output contains a bogus "share/man/man7/gpl.7" file.  The file
contains only 10 bytes: "timestamp\n".

[*] My personal branch is admittedly very far from the current 'master'
    branch, but I doubt it makes a difference for purposes of this bug.
