[PATCH 0/6] Test suite fixes for musl libc

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

Hi,

on latest master of util-linux, there's currently 20 test- and
subtest failures on musl based systems. There's three different
categories of failures:

    - Reliance on buffering properties of stdout/stderr.

    - Expectance of non-standard error messages returned by
      strerror(3P).

    - Expectance of EILSEQ with POSIX locale.

This patch set fixes all of the above, bringing down the number
of failures from 20 to a single test failure. The remaining
failure is in getopt(1), which documents and implicitly relies on
the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable when calling getopt_long
from glibc. Adhering to this variable isn't implemented by musl
libc, so to get this working correctly one would have to modify
getopt(1) itself, e.g. by automatically prepending a '+' to the
optstr if the envvar is set. But I'll leave that to another patch
series.

Regards
Patrick
