If it helps, I can reproduce this on Debian, with musl-tools installed.

$ CC=musl-gcc mksh configure --without-openssl --without-zlib
$ make tests

At this point, it’s built, and it appears that…

$ make t-exec

… runs the precise test that failed for the OP.

(Why the configure script doesn’t configure the tests so
they run only those that can actually be run without OpenSSL
is beyond me…)

The reason for disabling OpenSSL and libz is that you’d need
versions of them built against musl-libc which isn’t normally
available on glibc-using Debian.

musl is… very opinionated. Its <sys/poll.h> contains a very
annoing #warning (because POSIX has <poll.h> instead) which
I suggest to sudoedit away first.
