Description
I don't know off the top of my head:
- Does
systemcryptowork on Alpine? - If you build an app on Alpine with cgo (like you must with
systemcrypto), does it link against musl? - Does musl have similar versioning issues as glibc?
- If you build against an old glibc, will that work better with Alpine glibc compatability workaround packages? (Or the same?)
This is a tracking issue to figure these out and add it to any applicable documentation.
