Description
Hi,
I tried to install emacs and I did this
localhost:~# apk add emacs-nox
OK: 134 MiB in 42 packages
However when I run emacs I get this
localhost:~# emacs
Fatal error 31: Bad system call
Bad system call
localhost:~# dmesg
15(emacs) missing syscall 215
Any help is appreciated.

Start by reproducing the apk add emacs-nox installation and running emacs, then inspect dmesg for the reported missing syscall 215. Done means Emacs starts without the “Bad system call” failure in the iSH environment.
