Pre built jvm binaries that are dynamically linked to glibc are an example.

"At present, some glibc-linked shared libraries can be loaded with musl, but all but the simplest glibc-linked applications will fail if musl is dropped-in in place of /lib/ld-linux.so.2"

Some of the differences are listed here: https://wiki.musl-libc.org/functional-differences-from-glibc...
