Most likely, you are encountering a bug that was fixed in gnulib on 2020-07-28, a day after gettext 0.21 was released. Can you try the newest gettext snapshot? https://gitlab.com/gnu-gettext/ci-distcheck/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/gettext-snapshot.tar?job=check-optimized > To my knowledge e-mode O_CLOEXEC is not available to Solaris 10 libc, so I > guess > this test should be skipped on Solaris? Gnulib's 'fopen-gnu' makes O_CLOEXEC available (albeit not necessarily atomically) on all platforms. [1] Bruno [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/fopen.html
