 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.
