⁠Alpine GNU C library (glibc) + Python 2.7 Docker image

This image is based on Alpine Linux image, which is only a 5MB image, and contains Python 2.7⁠ and glibc to enable proprietary projects compiled against glibc (e.g. OracleJDK, Anaconda) work on Alpine.

This image includes some quirks to make glibc⁠ work side by side with musl libc (default in Apline Linux). glibc packages for Alpine Linux are prepared by Andy Shinn⁠ and the releases are published in andyshinn/alpine-pkg-glibc⁠ github repo.
