Could it be related to this change in glibc 2.32?

  * Both strerror and strerror_l now share the same internal buffer in the
    calling thread, meaning that the returned string pointer may be invalided
    or contents might be overwritten on subsequent calls in the same thread or
    if the thread is terminated.  It makes strerror MT-safe.

But still, why do you observe the test failure only on one architecture and
not also on all the others? Maybe the TLS stuff is not working right on ARM?
