 Yes, please share that with the Alpine community, libnsl-dev expects
 <sys/cdefs.h> so it should probably depends on bsd-compat-headers
 package.
 
 Unfortunately also with that it seems that libnsl-dev and
 bsd-compat-headers are not enough to build Python `nis'.  I think
 that's also worth discussing with the Alpine community.
 
 
 Thank you!
