Subject: Musl incompatibility with Docker and AWS's C5 class

Hey musl-devs,

Yesterday we tested out the new C5 instance class that AWS offers using our
Alpine-based images and discovered that we would get a segfault whenever we
ran `npm install`. Tracing the code, it appeared to be happening due to the
use of node's "process.setuid" and "process.setgid" commands, either of
which would cause a segfault.

We're running Alpine containers inside Docker on EC2, and the smallest
thing I can provide to reproduce this issue would be to run the following
on a C5 EC2 instance:

docker run -it node:9-alpine sh -c "node -e 'process.setgid(0)'"

A core dump provided the following limited information:
