Description
**Your Godot version:** 4.2.1
**Issue description:** Alpine packages in 'Compiling for Linux' section no loner valid
**URL to the documentation page:** https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/contributing/development/compiling/compiling_for_linuxbsd.html
Alpine Linux uses `musl` rather than `glibc`. The instructions for required packages in Alpine Linux include `libexecinfo-dev`, which has not been available on Alpine Linux since 3.17.
See also [`musl` support issue](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/20037). The reference to `libexecinfo-dev` should be removed from the docs, with a note to use the `execinfo=no` option when compiling with `musl`.
