Alpine Linux / musl C library support broken at link stage

rmottola commented 1 year ago

We broke build on Alpine Liunx somewhen in the past year. When building base, everything compiles, but links badly. gnustep base itself is not built as a shared library and compiling things like autogsdoc will give missing symbols of a lot of base dependencies (e.g. gz, tls, etc). The issue comes from gnustep make, since checking out older versions with current base, makes a working base.

I tracked it down between these two commits:
