I think that means that that gettext implementation is not currently

Yeah. My goal in mentioning the problem back when it was just a
problem in theory (we had no test, the Alpine packages disable nls
(perhaps it used to be *more* broken, if they did that before we used
PRI?)) was to try to see if someone closer to these musl distros
wanted to have a crack at fixing it, since it looks pretty close to
being usable. But now that it's a problem in practice, it's hard to
disagree with Peter's take. It could be reenabled any time it works
enough to pass the test.
Fair enough. I've revised the test mechanism per discussion with
Bryan Green, in hopes of being able to test on more BF animals than
we could yesterday. But I won't put in an expected-file for this
Alpine misbehavior.
Both alpine animals now have NLS disabled.
Best,
Wolfgang
