I see the two time_r tests be SKIPped (previously they FAILed) on Alpine Linux ≤ 3.14, whereas they succeed on Alpine Linux ≥ 3.17. The difference between these two distro versions is that the newer ones have the entire time zone database unpacked in /usr/share/zoneinfo (3 MB). In both the older and newer distro version, /etc/localtime is a symlink to single file in /etc/zoneinfo/. /etc/zoneinfo/ contains only this one file, namely the time zone that was chosen at installation time.
