Hi, I am primarily building via Nixpkgs (whose derivation I also adapted to be able to build from the src tree in my attempts to bisect). The Nixpkgs derivation does have `--disable-nls` [1]. However, I can also reproduce the same issue (bad in v9.8, good in v9.7) using Homebrew’s coreutils (via the prebuilt bottles).
