What's the reason for that requirement? I'll soon release LDC 
v1.20.0-beta1, so is there something from DMD stable you'd need 
as prerequisite?

While I've never fully understood the popularity of Alpine-based 
docker images (okay, the base image is tiny, but if all images 
are based on the same, say, Ubuntu image, the few hundred MB only 
need to be stored once on each host), it'd probably be nice to 
have the official prebuilt LDC Linux packages linked against 
musl, to get rid of the glibc dependency. I assume that would be 
enough to make it runnable on almost all Linux x64 hosts.
