Hi,  
Julia 1.5.3 installed on Alpine Linux (3.12), musl libc used.  
I have an issue with precompiling EzXML.jl package that uses artifacts:

```julia
ERROR: LoadError: InitError: could not load library "/root/.julia/artifacts/374c8b34b6f9a9f921258b1ef93d1b8856f00702/lib/libxml2.so"
Error loading shared library libiconv.so.2: No such file or directory (needed by /root/.julia/artifacts/374c8b34b6f9a9f921258b1ef93d1b8856f00702/lib/libxml2.so)
Stacktrace:
 [1] dlopen(::String, ::UInt32; throw_error::Bool) at /buildworker/worker/package_musl64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.5/Libdl/src/Libdl.jl:109
 [2] dlopen(::String, ::UInt32) at /buildworker/worker/package_musl64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.5/Libdl/src/Libdl.jl:109

```

Package precompile just fine on Ubuntu and Windows.  
Could be related to musl libc library or Alpine Linux? How to tackle this?

Yes, JLL packages will properly work with Musl-based systems starting from Julia v1.6.
