I have no experience with musl, but klibc is probably the easiest to
port that you can find. Doing a new port doesn't require any prior
knowledge of klibc itself, the code is so small that any experienced
C programmer can understand it entirely in short time and do a new
port. However, it is also not meant as a general purpose libc or a
glibc replacement, as there is a very limited set of code that can use
it. It's certainly complete enough to test that the ABI itself is
working.
