1) The m4-logs.tar.gz attachment, there, shows test failures for
LC_ALL=$LOCALE_ZH_CN ${CHECKER} ./test-c32....${EXEEXT} 4
$LOCALE_ZH_CN is zh_CN.GB18030.
In glibc, the GB18030 converter was broken from (at least) 2011-05-17
to 2012-05-11. See <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11837> .
Since your system (Slackware 12.2) is from 2008 (cf.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slackware#Releases>)
it's not productive use of our time to investigate how the then-current
GB18030 support in glibc was broken.
2) The failures
FAIL: test-funclib-quote.sh
FAIL: test-option-parser.sh
point towards a buggy shell. But again, investigating buggy shells from
2008 is a waste of time.
