build: release musl binaries

[etihwjd]

So following on from #250, I managed to compile core-libs, kinda. When I say kinda, I gave up on compiling natively on the aarch64 convertible I have, and ended up using Cross and doing it on an x86_64 Ubuntu machine I have as a file server. I got as far as starting to setup Tauri and then looking at ways to cross compile using Tauri, decided against that and then looked for ways to automate cross compilation using qemu.

On my travels I came across a potential way to automate the build process for musl weirdos like me, Setup Alpine Linux environment, which appears to be able to integrated part of the standard GitHub workflow, and was wondering if this could be integrated into the project as a way to build either Alpine APK packages, or musl linked App images? This would probably be a massive help for the Alpine based PostmarketOS project, which is what I'm running on my Lenovo (now former) Chromebook Duet 3.

If a barrier is available time, I've forked the repo and could give it a bash. I could always open a PR if successful, but this would be luck and persistence rather than knowledge and skill!😅

I'm not sure to fully understand what you want.

Do you mean you'd like me to add a new build target in the release pipeline for musl so that the release artefacts would contains such a binary? :)

[etihwjd]

Yes, please! As I think I said in my original issue, if there's too much involved in integrating the new code, I could give it a go, but getting the core-libs to compile on musl felt like a herculean task. 😅

Just a head up here: I'm not forgetting this, I just need to have some time to work on it as it's not that trivial :)
Will keep you updated once I find some free time to do it.

No worries, dude! Hope you had a good Christmas and new year! I've been around long enough to know not to pester or even ask for an ETA. Especially at this time of year! Thanks for looking at it.

Hi Martin, It might not be directly applicable, but I wanted to bring this to your attention if you weren't already aware. [Linux arm64 hosted runners now available for free in public repositories (Public Preview)]( https://github.blog/changelog/2025-01-16-linux-arm64-hosted-runners-now-available-for-free-in-public-repositories-public-preview/ ) I'm hoping this will make your work easier, but I'm still not asking for more attention to MUSL development, and definitely not asking for an ETA!

Thanks for the info! Just tried and seems like those image have some issue with permission, I'll check later! :)

Hopefully, if nothing else, it'll save some cross architecture compilation overhead.
