sorbet-static can not be installed on Alpine through the latest version of RubyGems

[garybethea]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I raised this issue on rubygems-update because sorbet-static cannot be installed on Alpine through the latest version of RubyGems, and it looks like the RubyGems team is unlikely to fix.

tl;dr

The x86_64-linux variant of sorbet-static works on Alpine even though Alpine uses the musl C compiler. Since with the latest release RubyGems now supports non-GMU linux platform variants, bundler looks for an exact variant match. Not finding any, bundler will fail to install any version of sorbet-static on Alpine machines (more info in the linked issue).

To address, the sorbet team will need to re-publish the x86_64-linux library, but tag it as -linux-musl as well.

This doesn't seem right -- since it doesn't work on musl-using platforms, we would want some way of tagging it as -linux-glibc, assuming such a thing exists. Is that even possible?
