The test might run on different platforms. If the platform happens to have a RTC that does exist but unable to have RTC_UIE_ON set the test will fall into an infinite hang.
Exampls of bad clocks are: - ppc64el: rtc-generic - arm64: rtc-efi To avoid that check the capability via `hwclock` before the test and skip if it is unable to use it. Output generally looks like: ioctl(4, RTC_UIE_ON, 0): Invalid argument But for internationalization only compare the left part of it. In the good case this line won't show up at all.
