Description
Gitpod Code does not work with alpine images because it requires libc-based native modules. The hack we've used for Theia doesn't seem to work here.
We should decide if this is something we want to support going forward, and if so, how we'll fix it.
See also https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/3355
If we wanted to support this, maybe installing glibc within the userland might do the trick.
If we don't want to support this, we should be clear about that and also remove all the alpine faff within Gitpod.
