Hm. So while that switch makes the animal pass the build, it did hide exactly this problem. Not sure whether this switch should be used at all, then. Was this switch only implemented for the specific case of Alpine/musl or is there a different reason for it, as well?
Alpine was the main motivation, but it's also probably useful on Macs with SIP enabled.
ISTR raising the Alpine issue back then (2018) but I can't find a reference now.
