Is Alpine Linux a standard distribution?
I would say it is quite well known: it's the second most downloaded Docker image for a Linux distribution (Behind Ubuntu) and a lot of others use it as a base, for example. It's also somewhat supported by LTP as it's part of the build CI. But I guess it really depends on what you consider standard ?
I think I got caught up with exactly that. Note I am not debating that Alpine is a well-established distribution. How about rephrasing it a bit as of: "are failing on standard Aarch64 Linux Musl-based distribution' and skipping the mentioning of Alpine at all ? Those are to be affected by Musl implementation, in the end ?
Might be worth pointing out the existence of ci/alpine.sh, linked from doc/supported-kernel-libc-versions.txt. So I'd say mentioning Alpine is relevant, though indeed it is really about Musl in the end.
