[Feature Request] A short description of the feature

[ConYel]

I am trying to build megadepth on alpine container in order to have a "slimmer" image in the end.
I get various issues from compiling.
the image currently:
```Dockerfile
FROM docker.io/rhub/r-minimal:4.4.1-patched as builder

RUN apk update
RUN apk add --no-cache --update-cache \
    --repository http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.20/main \
    autoconf=2.72-r0 \
    automake=1.16.5-r2 \
    bash tzdata libcurl git zlib gcc musl-dev xz-dev gcompat

RUN echo "America/Edmonton" > /etc/timezone
WORKDIR /home/hello
RUN git clone https://github.com/ChristopherWilks/megadepth.git
WORKDIR /home/hello/megadepth

CMD [ /bin/sh ]

Then I run inside the container :

 ./build_megadepth.sh
.
.
.
.
/home/hello/megadepth/htslib /home/hello/megadepth
+ autoheader
+ autoconf
+ make clean
