Yuxuan Shui has ported druntime to Musl over the last couple 
months:

https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ayshui+is%3Aclosed

With his changes, all druntime unit tests pass, now only a few 
asserts tripping in the additional tests for shared libraries.  I 
added a couple more tweaks to get all but one of the Phobos unit 
tests passing too.

With a last tiny patch to add a command-line flag to dmd to 
easily use this port- already added to the latest ldc 1.8 beta, 
though it doesn't have all the druntime support: 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/2373 - anyone can use 
D with Alpine/Musl containers for microservices.
