Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de> added the comment:

In my opinion we should treat these issues as Alpine / musl libc platform bugs 
and ask the Alpine maintainers to look into the issue. The tests are passing on 
Linux with glibc and BSD platforms (FreeBSD, macOS, ...) with BSD libc. It is 
reasonable to assume that failing test are caused by incompatibilities or 
deficiencies in musl libc, or by a different interpretation of POSIX and Open 
Group standards.

I would not ignore or skip any test unless we have a thorough understanding of 
the problem and the deviation is documented. The issue can also affect user 
code.

Python's test suite is exhaustive. Our tests have found a fair amount of 
problems in e.g, libm. A couple of years ago ine of my AF_ALG socket tests even 
found a Kernel bug by triggered a Kernel fault.
