Add support for libraries based on C-standard library musl #1694
Description
If there are 2 versions of a library for linux-x86-64, one for glibc and one for musl then I can't add both to the classpath. A typical Linux distribution with musl is the popular Alpine Linux.
This result then to the typical error:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Error loading shared library libgcc_s.so.1: No such file or directory (needed by /home/cowork/.cache/JNA/temp/jna11787778965949199194.tmp)

at com.sun.jna.Library$Handler.<init>(Library.java:197)
at com.sun.jna.Native.load(Native.java:618)
Please add support for both variants on loading from classpath. Or are there any other workarounds?

Hi! I'd like to work on this feature. I think supporting both glibc and musl environments transparently, as well as allowing multiple build variants to coexist in the same JAR, would be a valuable improvement.
I'm planning to investigate the current implementation and explore a solution. If anyone is already working on this or has suggestions about the approach, I'd be happy to hear from you.
