GNU C Library compatibility layer for Alpine Linux
GAlpine is an Alpine Linux adaptation that allows it to run packages that
depend on dynamic linking with the GNU C Library. This works by installing
glibc
to the prefix /usr/glibc
as a special .apk
package, that is rigged
with an apk trigger modifies the linker configuration giving preference to
glibc
only when packages are installed to certain directories, allowing
musl
and glibc
to work side-by-side.
