However, on OpenBSD, AIX and Alpine Linux
the gnulib 'test-localename' failed.
This is somewhat strange, because gnulib's updates
already contain Bruno's fix:

from here:

I'm not sure why it still failed on Alpine linux (which uses musl).

OpenBSD 6.2 log:

  FAIL: test-localename
  =====================

  test-localename.c:183: assertion 'strcmp (name, "fr_FR.UTF-8") == 0' failed
  Abort trap (core dumped)
  FAIL test-localename (exit status: 134)


AIX log:

  FAIL: test-localename
  =====================

  FAIL test-localename (exit status: 132)

Alpine Log:

  FAIL: test-localename
  =====================

  test-localename.c:183: assertion 'strcmp (name, "fr_FR.UTF-8") == 0' failed
  Aborted
  FAIL test-localename (exit status: 134)



Additionally, on Alpine linux which uses busybox's diff(1),
the following fails:
  FAIL: test-version-etc.sh
  =========================

  diff: unrecognized option: c
  FAIL test-version-etc.sh (exit status: 1)


=======


All in all, I don't think these gnulib failures are show stoppers for
the next sed version.
