I've built pharo.cog.spur.minheadless on Alpine Linux x86_64. Check out
https://github.com/PierceNg/opensmalltalk-vm/tree/pierce_alpine. This is
using the cmake build system.

And these are the pre-requisite packages:

  build-base git bash perl curl linux-headers libexecinfo-dev util-linux-dev cmake clang clang-dev

I'm using this to work towards the smallest possible Docker image for
Pharo for running headless, batch and server-side applications:
