Subject: [PATCH] fix(build): statically link musl builds for portability

The musl builds were dynamically linked against musl libc, requiring
/lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 at runtime. This made them only usable on
systems with musl installed (e.g. Alpine Linux), defeating the purpose
of providing musl builds for maximum portability.

Change musl builds to use -static so the binary is fully self-contained
and works on any Linux system. Also use -static-libstdc++ and
-static-libgcc for musl builds (same as glibc builds) instead of
dynamically linking them.

Closes #27375
