MUSL claims to support pthread_getattr_np, but the response returned is off by at least an order of magnitude compared to reality. This is apparently a long standing problem. MUSL also does not provide any way to detect directly that it is the libc. It would be possible to add things to configure to detect that MUSL is the compiler, but since this code has caused problems for a lot of non-glibc platforms, it seems easier to just restrict it to glibc.

I don't think that this call is correct. It disables the call on FreeBSD.
Maybe check for "glibc or not Linux"?

That would fix it for alpine, but not for emscripten or wasi (but I don't know what they actually need). I'd rather see it as if glibc or freebsd, and get rid of the rest, but glibc or not linux would work for my immediate concern.
