Missing gcc while install libsass in Alpine

See original GitHub issue

It doesn’t look like a bug. It’s just a request from a lazy dev :p (please forgive me my laziness)

I just want to make a lightweight docker image for my own purpose so I don’t intend to install gcc. I just wonder if we have a pre-compiled version for Alpine.
