I installed bsd-compat-headers package, which installs file
/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h, and tried again. Build failed, and following
is a chunk of the output.

I also tried with the libbsd-dev package, which installs
/usr/include/bsd/sys/cdefs.h, but the result was the same. There's
another package, dev86, which installs
/usr/lib/bcc/include/sys/cdefs.h , but I didn't try with that.

Should I share with the Alpine community that it's a dependency issue?
That libnsl-dev expects <sys/cdefs.h> but it's not installed and that
either libbsd-dev or bsd-compat-headers or something else should be a
dependency?

Thanks.
