Is there a distro comparable to Alpine but based on glibc? I'm aware of various workarounds / hacks for glibc support in Alpine, just curious if there is a distro that doesn't have the issue out of the box.

Void (Linux) has glibc and musl flavors.

Debian?

For upthread comparison, the debian:stable-slim container is 22MB.

That includes perl, tzdata, apt, bash, coreutils/util-linux and... basically nothing else. It's a very minimal rootfs that can still be easily extended. (The standalone perl docker image is over 300MB.)
