How is this problem solved for other libraries, like -lpthread?
musl does not need a separate pthread library. pthread support is part
of libc, and libpthread.so is provided as a compatibility stub, so
-lpthread works without an extra package.
libuuid is an external library from util-linux. On Alpine, installing
util-linux-dev provides the musl-built libuuid and uuid/uuid.h, and the
selftests build succeeds. I confirmed this on a fresh Alpine install.
I sent the basename fix as a separate patch:
