Issue type: Bug
Clarity: Needs clarification
Activity status: Stale
Tech stack: go, linux
Domain: build-system, operating-systems

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the listed Alpine/postmarketOS dependencies and commands, then read src/go-build-wrapper and the reported github.com/NVIDIA/go-nvml/pkg/dl/dl_linux.go location. Done means meson compile -C builddir completes successfully for the stated arm64 musl environment.

Describe the bug
I am trying to build toolbox on my smartphone with postmarketOS (the systemd version) but encounter an error during the meson compile step: "could not determine what C.RTLD_DEEPBIND refers to"

Steps how to reproduce the behaviour

Install the dependencies: sudo apk add meson ninja gcc go go-md2man systemd-dev shadow-dev cmake bash-completion bash-completion-dev fish-dev coreutils podman
Configure the project: meson setup -Dprofile_dir=/etc/profile.d builddir
Try to build the project: meson compile -C builddir

Expected behaviour
Successful build
