Regarding the 'numfmt' failures - these are locale-related problems (in both 
cases).
Perhaps I wrote the tests incorrectly.

May I ask you to try the followings on those systems, and send the output (or 
compare with this expected output):
  
     # The french locale is used for locale testing - if it doesn't exist, 
those tests should not run at all.
     $ locale -a | grep -i fr
     fr_FR.utf8

     # First try without locale (this is test 'lcl-grp-1' which succeeded) 
     $ LC_ALL=C ./src/numfmt --debug --grouping  --from=si 7M
     ./src/numfmt: grouping has no effect in this locale
     7000000

     # Try grouping, the expected output should have a space as 
thousands-separator
     # this is test lcl-grp-3 which failed, on your system the result was 
"7000000"
     $ LC_ALL=fr_FR.utf8 ./src/numfmt --debug --grouping  --from=si 7M
     7 000 000
 

Thanks!
