I wanted to help other people that would like to have glibc in Alpine.
If there is none then it is the answer as well. That is why I ask
here.

I am not sure I understand. I also send patches to open source in my
time. We are doing it for fun. And it is more fun when there are more
users.

I know and I mentioned. Please do not take it offensive. I am just
asking if Alpine users would like it.

I am not sure if I was rude. I hope I was not. Yes I can do all of
that. But there is nothing wrong with trying to find better options.
If that options are not viable I understand it.

Yes it is definitely one of the options.
