How to use the musl C Library instead of uclibc?

I noticed that OpenWRT 18 is built using uclibc but I would like to use musl instead. I have not found where this option is configured/chosen. How would I go about changing the library?

@jeff I'm building for an x86_64 target and the toolchain uses uclibc.

Also x86 in 18.06 uses musl by default.

Sounds like you are basing your build on somebody's nonstandard config.

Menuconfig has the toolchain options where you can select the libc.
