Pardon my ignorance, but what's the nature of these musl-related issues? Is it because some programs or libraries use glibc specific-features/bugs? Or is it something else? Does glibc have their own non-standard functions?



Pre built jvm binaries that are dynamically linked to glibc are an example.

"At present, some glibc-linked shared libraries can be loaded with musl, but all but the simplest glibc-linked applications will fail if musl is dropped-in in place of /lib/ld-linux.so.2"

https://www.musl-libc.org/faq.html

Some of the differences are listed here: https://wiki.musl-libc.org/functional-differences-from-glibc...


That reminded me that I noticed from the java 12 link on the front page, that they mention early access builds of java 13 for alpine. https://jdk.java.net/13/
