Support for Alpine Linux as a build or host platform is EXPERIMENTAL. Some of the packages try to compile binaries for the build or the machine and fail because they expect certain GLIBC-specific types, etc: Alpine Linux does not use GNU libc, it uses musl. Only the following bug reports will be looked into: - A sample configuration used to build successfully and no longer does. Identify the commit ID that builds successfully for you. - A pull request that fixes the build for any sample on the Alpine Linux. All other bug reports against Alpine as a build/host will be summarily closed.
