Alpine Linux on x64 and AArch64

[Aleksei Voitylov]

Hi Lilian,

I had high hopes the documentation I integrated together with the
sources for Alpine Linux support [1] would be understandable, let me
know if it is not, I'll be happy to improve it :)

To build it yourself, you have two options:

  * build on Alpine Linux AArch64 natively, without passing
    --with-devkit. That's the way we do it at BellSoft.
  * build with a cross compiler which should be passed to
    --with-devkit=, for example, someone provides cross compilers here [2].

Thanks,

-Aleksei
