Preflight Checklist

• I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet

• I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Claude Code v2.1.63 crashes immediately on Alpine Linux (musl libc) with:
Error relocating /home/claude/.local/bin/claude: posix_getdents: symbol not found
Every command fails, including claude --version.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should start normally on Alpine Linux, as it did with v2.1.62.

Additional Information

Installing gcompat (glibc compatibility shim) does not resolve the issue.
posix_getdents is not provided by gcompat either.

The 2.1.63 binary is ~6MB larger than 2.1.62 (225MB vs 219MB), suggesting a
dependency change. posix_getdents is a glibc-specific symbol absent from musl libc.

Workaround: roll back the symlink:
ln -sf ~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.62 ~/.local/bin/claude
