Hm. So while that switch makes the animal pass the build, it did hide 
exactly this problem. Not sure whether this switch should be used at 
all, then. Was this switch only implemented for the specific case of 
Alpine/musl or is there a different reason for it, as well?

The other issues I had been seeing were during make check-world, but not 
make check. Those were things around setlocale() / /bin/locale, IIRC. 
Not sure whether all of the tests are run by the buildfarm?

Best,

Wolfgang
