Chomp fails to install on Alpine via npm

[connor4312]

Here's what I'm trying:

/workspaces/es-module-lexer # node --version
v20.7.0
/workspaces/es-module-lexer # npm i -g chomp

changed 147 packages in 1s

6 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details
/workspaces/es-module-lexer # chomp --help
node:events:492
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

}

Node.js v20.7.0

file reveals it's a dynamically linked binary, which doesn't run out of the box on Alpine:

/workspaces/es-module-lexer # file /usr/local/lib/node_modules/chomp/vendor/chomp

Ah, yeah this sounds like an issue that we don't support Alpine builds.

I would suggest cargo install chompbuild in this case.
