Hmm. Which kernel is used inside this Alpine container? Linux probably? Whereas inside the QNX VM, it would be the QNX microkernel, right? The point of running the Gnulib test suite in the QNX VM would be to exercise the QNX system calls and see how compatible they are with POSIX and GNU. But when you are in a container, what would you be testing exactly? Bruno
