This is still Alpine, so my understanding is that musl libc is still the default. Programs compiled with Glibc should still run, though. Do you have an issue running a glibc program ?

Also a disclaimer: I haven't personally used this image for years, I just update it regularly with new versions of Alpine and glibc. So my memories of how it all works are a bit fuzzy, and I might be wrong entirely.

anyway to make glibc the default one?

i have this problem with pip where they are still trying to rebuild since no musl prebuilt wheel for pip package can be found.
