commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=a3f1167c5d908a3ed477645047306bd01b7f5a65
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2017.02.x

Bash's malloc relies on sbrk which is implemented as a fail-only stub in
musl. Presently, it is disabled when configured for static
libs. Instead, default to using libc malloc.

Fixes:

  # bash
  bash: xmalloc: locale.c:81: cannot allocate 18 bytes (0 bytes allocated)
