Julia support for Linux distributions that use musl libc

[albap...@gmail.com]

Julia doesn't compile for me on Linux distributions that use musl lic.
After the command 'make' I get -
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-alpine-linux-musl': machine `x86_64-alpine-linux' not recognized
Any idea how to fix this is welcome. Thank you very much.

Ciao.

This sort of question is more appropriate for the julia-users list. The juila-dev list is for discussion of the development of the language, not for support queries.

I tried to build in an alpine linux docker container a while ago and hit trouble due to libunwind using glibc extensions. I think this could warrant a bug report, as I'd like to see if we can make this work at some point.

@Stefan
Sorry, I won't make this mistake next time.

@Tony
I installed libunwind-dev and now I got a different error.
