…packages Move glibc libraries from /usr/local/lib/ to /usr/local/lib/glibc/ and use patchelf to embed the rpath directly in the deno and tini binaries, removing the global LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var. This prevents glibc's libgcc_s.so.1 from shadowing Alpine's musl-compatible version, which caused crashes when installing musl-based packages like node or ffmpeg.
