distribute cross chains for alpine hosts as it seems they don't exist yet.

Thanks to David Sugar for his feedback about it:

Alpine can be made to produce static binaries, but it's cross-compile support never was formally extended to arbitrary user space outside of bootstrap. So, if I want to build arbitrary user mode applications for Arm, I could locally do a arm build on a pi or on qemu user mode, but both are tortuously slow. I saw this as potentially filling a particular gap.

In this case, knowing what gap to fill was already half of the job :^)
