I run Guix on an Alpine Linux host system. Alpine uses the musl C
library. This seems to be what exposes an issue in the gajim Guix
package for me.
I believe what is happening is the following: Gajim dlopen()s libc via
Python's ctypes library, and ends up finding the system libc, not the
Guix-provided libc it is supposed to be linked against.
The result is the following crash:
Traceback (most recent call last):
