Alpine Linux, which is based on musl rather than glibc, supports Julia but cannot use the glibc-based Linux binaries that we produce here. Like FreeBSD (#32), Alpine users will not be able to use packages with binary dependencies once everything is switched over to BinaryBuilder/BinaryProvider.

A bit ironic of course, since the rootfs we use is alpine.

The latest RootFS contains stealth-support for this; you can get at it via Linux(:x86_64, :musl) or Linux(:i686, :musl). I haven't built it for any other architectures yet, but we of course could. These platforms are not yet enumerated within supported_platforms(), I just need someone to try this out and see if there are any bugs as I'm not 100% confident I have built the musl parts of the cross-compiler properly.
