generic Linux installer contains dynamically linked helpers failing to run on non glibc systems

I downloaded http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1/ghc-8.0.1-x86_64-deb8-linux.tar.xz and running configure on Alpine Linux (musl based) failed. The immediate cause seems to be that ghc-* files are not linked statically.

Could static linkage be considered for these helpers allowing them to run on non-glibc setups?

Thanks
