Precompiled binary for Alpine Linux

[zacksiri]

I saw that in earlier version there was support for alpine linux. However it seems this support was removed.

Is it possible to have prebuilt binary for alpine? Or is this simply not feasible?

I just tried to build it in Alpine 3.20 and ran into this issue

Any idea how to fix?

IIRC the issue is exactly that getting XLA to build on Alpine is non trivial, but I may be wrong (or outdated) (or both).

[zacksiri]

Ok thank you.

[jonatanklosko]

Yeah, in the past Sean got it to compile by applying patches to xla and llvm, but at some point when updating XLA the patches no longer worked and I dropped support for Alpine. Unfortunately, from maintenance perspective it's counterproductive to support environments not supported properly upstream and keep revisiting patches whenever stuff breaks.
