Update: I solved my operational issue with running Alpine on the new
system I'm provisioning. I built a 32-bit executable on my RHEL 5.3 system
and then copied all the 32-bit dependancies to my new Rocky 9.2 system.
It worked. Would still like to have a 64 bit executable for the future as
I had to disable SSL because I don't have the required openssl version.
