Hi, It will probably soon be trivial to do a manylinux Alpine build / test on multibuild. There's a work on progress PR here,
https://github.com/matthew-brett/multibuild/pull/430 that only requires someone to build a trivial test container, in order to get merged. It's also generally very easy to test locally with a minimal Docker setup.
