There was a problem hiding this comment.
Changes looks good. I have 2 minor suggestions:
- Update README.md with note that CI builds now produce binaries usable across generic Linux distros.
- Update
TOOL_VERSIONinsrc/const.hfile from 1.4.7 to 1.4.8 since there is a change to binary build process and users must be able to distinguish old build and the new build in case of issues.

ntttcp is a small utility that can be readily used on any linux box, but with its current libc linkage it's intimately tied to the machine it's compiled on. Switching to musl, statically linked, means that the binary the CI toolchain produces is usable on any Linux machine with a halfway-recent kernel, even going back to 2.6.
This enables a lightweight, universally applicable release, and can address #96
