musl does not need a separate pthread library. pthread support is part 
of libc, and libpthread.so is provided as a compatibility stub, so 
-lpthread works without an extra package.

libuuid is an external library from util-linux. On Alpine, installing 
util-linux-dev provides the musl-built libuuid and uuid/uuid.h, and the 
selftests build succeeds. I confirmed this on a fresh Alpine install.

I sent the basename fix as a separate patch:
