[ruby-core:103325] [Ruby master Bug#17788] ruby 3.0.0 - compiling c++ extension on alpine fails

[xtkoba+ruby@gmail.com]

Issue #17788 has been updated by xtkoba (Tee KOBAYASHI).

File ruby-ruby_nonempty_memcpy-musl-cxx.patch added

Repro (named `bug17788.cc`):
```c
#include <sys/types.h>

//extern "C" {
void *
ruby_nonempty_memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n)
{
  return dest;
}
//}

#undef memcpy
#define memcpy ruby_nonempty_memcpy

#include <iostream>
```

```
$ x86_64-unknown-linux-musl-g++ -c bug17788.cc
bug17788.cc:13:16: error: conflicting declaration of 'void* ruby_nonempty_memcpy(void*, const void*, size_t)' with 'C' linkage
   13 | #define memcpy ruby_nonempty_memcpy
      |                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
bug17788.cc:6:1: note: previous declaration with 'C++' linkage
    6 | ruby_nonempty_memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n)
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```

A patch is attached for a workaround which wraps up the definition of `ruby_nonempty_memcpy` with `extern "C" { ... }`.

Compiling gem with C++ extension fails on alpine 3xx with Ruby 3.0.0 and Ruby 3.0.1 
(does not fail on Ubuntu 18 ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯)

Error:

```
compiling testgem.cc
In file included from /root/.rbenv/versions/3.0.0/include/ruby-3.0.0/ruby/ruby.h:39,
                 from /root/.rbenv/versions/3.0.0/include/ruby-3.0.0/ruby.h:38,

```

Code for reproduction:

extconf.rb
```
require 'mkmf'
create_makefile 'testgem'
```

testgem.cc
```
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ruby.h>
#include <iostream>

VALUE says(VALUE _self, VALUE str) {
    Check_Type(str, T_STRING);
    puts(StringValueCStr(str));
    return Qnil;
}

void Init_testgem() {
    VALUE mod = rb_define_module("Simon");
    const int num_args = 1;
    std::cout << "*** testgem initialized ***" << std::endl;
    rb_define_module_function(mod, "says", says, num_args);
}
