you might want to

apk add musl-dbg

the bt should be more useful then.

in this case you can also look at

(gdb) disas $rip-40,+80
(gdb) info reg

since the address is the first arg to a futex syscall (rdi).
then you can try to dig around to see where rdi points to

(gdb) x/4wx $rdi-4
(gdb) info sym $rdi

etc
