<p dir="auto">One notices that the only Linux wheels provided by numpy on PyPI are manylinux* wheels (glibc-based).</p>
<p dir="auto">Are there plans/problems regarding musl libc-based wheels? Note that a musl-libc Linux distribution, Alpine,<br>
does provide numpy 1.22, see <a href="https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=*numpy*&amp;branch=edge" rel="nofollow">https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=*numpy*&amp;branch=edge</a> - but<br>
as far as I understand, they build numpy calling <code class="notranslate">python setup.py build</code>, see <a href="https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/community/py3-numpy" rel="nofollow">https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/community/py3-numpy</a><br>
for their build script (they use openblas and gfortran) and a small patch they apply.</p>
<p dir="auto">A naive attempt to build wheels for numpy we tried didn't work with a rather obscure error, see<br>
