## Message

```
Remove stale musl linker error workaround from Linux dev docs (#61444)

# Objective

- The Linux dev docs document a workaround for a musl/aws-lc-rs linker
error (`undefined reference to __isoc23_sscanf` / `__isoc23_strtol`)
that no longer applies now that the root cause is fixed.

## Solution

- #61203 fixed the underlying issue directly in `script/bundle-linux` by
setting `CC_<target>=musl-gcc` when building the musl `remote_server`
target, so the documented workaround
(`REMOTE_SERVER_TARGET=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`) is stale and
misleading. This PR removes it.

## Testing

- Did you test these changes? If so, how? — Confirmed the removed note
referenced the exact linker error fixed by #61203, and that no other
docs reference the removed workaround.
- Are there any parts that need more testing? — No, this is a docs-only
removal.
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know? — Review the diff; confirm
`script/install-linux` no longer hits this error after #61203.
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test? — N/A, docs-only change.
