Notes from the sysadmin during installation:

$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://www.drive5.com/muscle/muscle_src_3.8.1551.tar.gz
$ mkdir muscle
$ tar xf muscle_src_3.8.1551.tar.gz -C muscle
$ cd muscle
$ sudo dnf install glibc-static libstdc++-static.x86_64
$ make
$ sudo mkdir -p /export/apps/muscle/3.8.1551

If you get an error about inability to link against -lm you need to install glibc-static.
