User and Group Names are not displayed with MUSL Build

This is an odd one. I seem to not be able to see user and group names with lsd on a computing cluster I am on, but only when using the MUSL build.
On my local macOS laptop, all is well, but on this SLES 12 cluster, all I see are the numeric UID/GID when I use the MUSL
Expected behavior
Using GNU ls:
$ \ls -l
total 3600

Obviously for now my "solution" is to use the GNU build, but I thought I'd inform you of this.
