Hey @sdavids, Could you please share a bit more detail about what you're trying to achieve?

If you're using the musl-based native image Docker images to build a static native executable, you might want to add the --static --libc=musl options to your native-image command.

Let me know if you need help with that!

[sdavids]

RUN native-image -march=native --static --libc=musl -o test Test

works.

But shouldn't a dynamically-linked version also work?

Alternatively, the error message could be improved along the lines of 'only static linking supported with musl'
