Thanks for all the testing!

These two are actual sed failures - can you provide more details about the 
"borel" system?


The rest are gnulib test failures. Some that I recognize:

Alpine uses musl-libc (not glibc). This bug 'getdtablesize' has been fixed in 
git:

musl-libc implements only UTF-8, and returns values gnulib does not expect.

'localename' failure on BSDs might be related to a known, similar failure on 
netbsd:
