This was curious, so I looked into it.
/usr/bin/ldd was changed to be a shell script in the Alpine musl
1.1.22-r1 package. This was done to improve the output of the ldd command.
The problem with this package is that shell script was:
exec /lib/ld-musl-$ARCH.so.1 --list -- "$@"
In Alpine musl 1.1.22-r3, the shell script was changed to:
exec /lib/ld-musl-$ARCH.so.1 --list "$@"
This allowed --version to work again as expected.
I don't think that GNU needs to have a workaround for this. We can
simply backport 1.1.22-r3 to Alpine 3.10 to resolve the bug.
