Why don’t you just use mksh – https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm – for your musl/Linux system?

No need to fork, port, etc. as mksh is modern and musl-ready.

It's pretty simple - I want to use OpenBSD's ksh. It has all the features I need without extra bells and whistles.

It’s also got all the bugs and less portability… but then, nevermind.

I don't need portability, since I use it under one platform and everything works right. Regarding bugs - if it's OpenBSD's default login shell, it must be good enough for most users. I'm sure it has bugs, but software sucks and I can't change that.
