Hi Richard,

I cannot reproduce this. Just installed a Fedora 29, configured and
ran a gnulib testdir created through
$ ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=../testdir-posix --with-tests
--single-configure `./posix-modules`
and all tests pass, including these that you listed.
Can you provide these infos?
$ yum list --installed | grep glibc-langpack-fr
Expected: empty
$ locale -a | grep ^fr_FR
Expected:
fr_FR
fr_FR@euro
fr_FR.iso88591
fr_FR.iso88591@euro
fr_FR.utf8
$ grep LOCALE_FR config.status
S["LOCALE_FR_UTF8"]="fr_FR.UTF-8"
S["LOCALE_FR"]="fr_FR"
$ ldd test-btowc
Expected:
linux-vdso.so.1
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
$ LC_ALL=fr_FR strace ./test-btowc 1
$ LC_ALL=fr_FR ltrace ./test-btowc 1
And of course the GCC command line options and relevant environment
variables that you used during the configure step.
