node-serialport: serialport.node: __strcpy_chk: symbol not found on alpine linux

I am using alpine linux 3.3 and node 4.3.

> serialport@2.0.6 install /app/node_modules/serialport
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Everything worked fine with debian jessi and node 4.3. After switching to alpine linux I get the above error.

So, just to summarise, the steps to get it working on Alpine are (assuming node and npm are already installed):

$ apk add --no-cache make gcc g++ python linux-headers udev
$ npm install serialport --build-from-source=serialport

(udev I imagine is optional – I guess it’s only if certain serialport functions rely on that)

We’ve been cross building for arm chips on the tessel project. We don’t have the latest beta but here’s the latest version for arm.
