Update:

$ who -a /var/log/wtmp

Does provide output on my system. However, the problem seems to be that
`who -b` attempts to look for `/var/run/utmp` and fails as the file does
not exist on Ubuntu 26.04.

The GNU version encounters the same problem, but will instead fallback
to checking systemd information instead such as `/run/systemd/sessions`
and `/var/lib/systemd/random-seed`.

I found that this discussion mentions the bug, but no issue seems to
have been filed:
https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/3219#issuecomment-3539429981

I will forward this upstream as a new issue.
