Python autoinstrumentation fails with "__sched_cpufree: symbol not found" under Alpine 3.18

[alexflint]

Describe your environment

Python 3.10
Alpine Linux 3/18
Kubernetes 1.25
opentelemetry-operator-0.37.1 0.83.0

Steps to reproduce

dosomething.py:

print("doing something")

Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.11-alpine
ADD dosomething.py /dosomething.py
CMD ["python3", "/dosomething.py"]

job.yaml:

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  name: dosomething
spec:
  template:
    metadata:
      annotations:
        instrumentation.opentelemetry.io/inject-python: "true"
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: dosomething
        image: myregsitry/dosomething:latest
        imagePullPolicy: "Always"
      restartPolicy: Never
  backoffLimit: 4

Run the job with kubectl create -f job.yaml

What is the expected behavior?

Expected the job to run successfully

What is the actual behavior?

I get the following error in the logs for the "dosomething" container:

Defaulted container "dosomething" out of: dosomething, opentelemetry-auto-instrumentation (init)

Additional context

Maybe this is caused by alpine?
