<p class="MsoNormal">The only place I regularly encounter is in containers, so people who are running singularity might find their users are using alpine in a way they can’t easily see. Presumably the libm point Janne made applies in the container context
as well, since the application will presumably be using the container’s libm, not the host node’s library.
